The most urgent infant health problem in the U.S. today is premature birth. It affects more than 450,000 babies each year and is the leading cause of death for children under the age of five. This past November, the March of Dimes issued a Report Card on Premature Birth, giving the nation a “C.” Virginia received a “B” grade, Maryland earned a “C” and Washington D.C.’s grade slipped to a “D.” The March of Dimes is committed to reducing this toll by funding research to find the answers to problems that continue to threaten the health of babies.
