About Us

March of Dimes leads the fight for the health of all moms and babies. Today, we're striving to end maternal health risks and death, end preventable preterm birth and infant death, and close the health equity gap. The maternal and infant health crisis is real—but so is our impact. From providing access to quality health care to mobilizing our community to create lasting change for moms and babies, we're ensuring families can get the best possible start.

Key areas of focus

• Dismantle racism and address unequal treatment
• Increase access to high quality healthcare
• Build safe and connected communities

Mission in action
