For the ninth year, the National Speaking of Women’s Health Foundation has awarded a Community Investment Grant to the March of Dimes Ohio Chapter. Funds are used to provide educational materials to parents, health professionals and community-based organizations that conduct prenatal care and provide health information. Funds also support materials to raise awareness of prematurity among the general public and to participate in community events to promote prematurity awareness and healthy pregnancy behaviors.
Without this generous support from Speaking of Women’s Health, the March of Dimes would not be able to provide materials to all that need them. Thank you Speaking of Women’s Health!
The March of Dimes is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects and infant mortality. Founded in 1938, the March of Dimes funds programs of research, community services, education, and advocacy and in 2003 launched a campaign to address the increasing rate of premature birth.
