Who We Are
March of Dimes leads the fight for the health of all moms and babies. We believe that every baby deserves the best possible start. Unfortunately, not all babies get one. We are changing that.
In Iowa, more than 39,400 babies are born every year, and the work of the March of Dimes touches each one of them, whether they are born healthy, prematurely, with birth defect or other health complications. Each year in Iowa 3,563 babies are born preterm- that's 1 in 11 babies born too soon, 1,196 babies are born with with a birth defect and 166 babies die before reaching their first birthday.
For 80 years, March of Dimes has helped millions of babies survive and thrive. Now we’re building on that legacy to level the playing field for all moms and babies, no matter their age, socio-economic background or demographics. We support moms throughout their pregnancy, even when everything doesn’t go according to plan. We advocate for policies that prioritize their health. We support radical improvements to the care they receive. And we pioneer research to find solutions to the biggest health threats to moms and babies.
