Hi there!!! According to the March of Dimes, Louisiana received an "F" grade on the 2025 March of Dimes Report Card, with a 14% preterm birth rate, ranking among the worst in the US. This rate is significantly higher than the national average, with 7,454 babies born preterm in the state in 2024. Key factors include high infant mortality (7.5 per 1,000) and significant racial disparities, with Black/Native American women facing higher risks.
Please join my team and help me save our future. Thank you in advance!
