Promoting Prematurity Awareness
Not only do we participate in the March of Dimes, but we take an extra step in promoting prematurity awareness.
Did you know that more than half a million babies are born prematurely in the United States each year? Premature birth is the leading cause of death in children age 17 and younger and can lead to lifelong health problems such as breathing difficulties, cerebral palsy and developmental delays.
Our goal is to educate everyone in our community about the effects the premature birth can have on children. On a matter that is of such importance we need to make every effort possible. We would also like to invite you to help us spread the word and participate in our project. Not only does every step count but every person that is involved counts as well, this isnt a project that we can do alone.
