ABOUT THE MARCH OF DIMES 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 service, education, and advocacy and in 2003 launched a five-year campaign to address the increasing rate of premature birth. In Massachusetts, prematurity is the leading cause of infant mortality and is a major determinant of mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and blindness. The annual rate of babies born prematurely in Massachusetts has risen 31 percent in the last decade, and almost half of all premature births have no known cause. For more information on how you can get involved to ensure the vital research and educational activities that take place here in Massachusetts will continue to save the lives of our future, contact the March of Dimes, Massachusetts Chapter at 508-663-2100 or email us at ma625@marchofdimes.com. |
