March of Dimes Meeting this Monday February 25th at 7pm in Room 0302 H in Hornbake Library!!


Are you pre-med? Interested in volunteering at the NICU? Want to network with March of Dimes chapter staff and meet inspirational people and go to conference nationwide?
 
Then join the March of Dimes Collegiate Council at
UMD! Every year, nearly half a million babies are born too soon in the United States. Our country's premature birth rate has risen by 36 percent over the last 25 years.That's serious cause for concern. Premature birth costs more than $26 billion a year and takes a high toll on families.
 
Babies born just a few weeks early are at risk of severe health problems and lifelong disabilities. Premature birth is the number 1 killer of newborns.
 
The March of Dimes is the biggest non profit organization dedicated to preventing premature birth, birth defects, and infant mortality though fundraising, advocacy, and research. Since abolishing polio, the foundation has moved its focus to premature birth and infant mortality.
