You've been touch by the March of Dimes if:


  • You or your baby received a polio vaccine
  • Your baby or one you know was cared for in a newborn intensive care unit (NICU)
  • Your baby or one you know was born prematurely and received the advanced care that the March of Dimes has researched, funded and supported
  • You are aware that women of childbearing age should take a multivitamin with folic acid to de-crease the risk of neural tube defects
  • You are aware that alcohol, tobacco, and drug use during pregnancy can result in poor birth outcomes
  • Your baby or a baby you know suffered from respiratory distress syndrome and received lifesaving lung surfactant therapy
