The March of Dimes provides a wide range of perinatal and genetic information for health professionals. For years, our fact sheets have served as valuable, concise resources for professionals working in perinatal health.

Preconception, folic acid, newborn screening and genetics are all important aspects of perinatal health. The March of Dimes provides resources and links to help you stay up to date on these critical topics.

Preventing premature birth

Premature birth is the leading killer of newborns in the United States. Through our national prematurity campaign, we aim to raise public awareness of the problems of prematurity and to decrease the rate of preterm birth in the United States. Special resources for professionals can help you join us in this important effort.

Patient education

Patient education is key to improving the health of mothers and their babies. With more than 70 years of experience in health education, the March of Dimes provides a wide range of resources for patients and their families. These materials are produced and regularly reviewed by a professional team that includes doctors, nurses and health educators.

Our goal is to provide health care professionals with the educational information they need to improve the health of mothers and babies.
