| The March of Dimes is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. Founded in 1938, the March of Dimes funds programs of research, community services, education, and advocacy to save babies and in 2003 launched a campaign to address the increasing rate of premature birth.
The March of Dimes North Carolina Chapter is working at all levels to ensure the health of mothers and babies. By leveraging its resources as part of a large national non-profit organization, the March of Dimes North Carolina Chapter is able to form local alliances and secure partnerships with government officials, state and local agencies, medical institutions and hospitals, and other groups. By working together, we have a greater impact on maternal and infant health all across the state.
