MARCH OF DIMES LEADS THE FIGHT FOR THE HEALTH OF ALL MOMS AND BABIES.
WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY BABY DESERVES THE BEST POSSIBLE START.
The March of Dimes mission is clear.
In this country, 1 in 10 babies is born prematurely. That’s a lot of families affected and babies who face challenges ahead.
Babies born preterm face a greater likelihood of death or disability or lifelong health conditions. What’s more, not every baby gets the best possible start: Mothers of color are 20 percent more likely to give birth prematurely and their children face a 40 percent higher infant death rate.
This is a heartbreaking reality for too many families. Today we’re leveling the playing field because we believe that every baby deserves the best possible start. By supporting March of Dimes this March for Babies season, you are standing up for babies.
