March of Dimes

The March of Dimes was established by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to fight polio.  As one of the only non-profit organizations to meet our mission goals, this mission focus was changed to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.  We help moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies. If something goes wrong, we offer information and comfort to families. We research the problems that threaten our babies and work on preventing them.
