Reduce Prematurity and Promote Healthy Babies!
According to the March of Dimes, one in eight babies is born prematurely. Millions of these children face serious health challenges or have trouble learning in school because they were born too soon. Even the best of care can’t always spare a premature baby from lasting disabilities. And premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death in the United States.
Since 2003, the March of Dimes has led Prematurity Awareness Month activities in November as part of its Prematurity Campaign. The goals of the campaign are to reduce rates of premature birth in the United States and raise awareness of this very serious and costly problem.
With your help, we will reach the day when all babies are born full-term and healthy – just what all parents hope for!
