To further our impact in this space, we’re partnering with March of Dimes, a national non-profit organization focused on improving the health of moms and babies. Their legacy of supporting families and babies in the NICU directly aligns with our mission to improve lives both in the NICU and beyond.
A core component of March of Dimes’ mission is to prevent preterm births through research, education, and advocacy and to provide expertise and direct services for families who find their baby in the NICU. Between 9-13% of babies in the US require a stay in the NICU due to complex medical needs. Many babies born preterm, with birth defects, or with severe health complications spend their first days in the NICU. For their families, March of Dimes NICU Family Support® is a lifeline, guiding them as they navigate the NICU experience. Their program includes core curriculum classes for NICU parents designed to increase their parenting knowledge and confidence, such as skin-to-skin care, infection prevention, and taking care of baby at home.
