Prematurity Awareness

November is Prematurity Awareness Month. It’s when the March of Dimes focuses everyone’s attention on the serious problem of premature birth. One in every ten babies is born too soon in our country. The rate is even higher for African-American women. We need to change this. Together we can help more babies be born healthy and strong. Visit marchofdimes.org to learn about premature birth, the signs of preterm labor, and ways it may be prevented. 

Tell someone you love.

~Sister Susie Jackson
