Healthy Moms and Babies

Through Healthy Moms and Babies, Nourish America is delivering prenatal nutrition to low income pregnant women, assuring healthy pregnancies and healthy babies.

“Premature birth has become a silent crisis in America, with more than 520,000 babies being born prematurely each year. According to the March of Dimes, this is a 30 percent increase since 1980. Much work remains to be done to reduce infant and maternal mortality rates, prevent premature birth and low birth weight babies,” said Connie Whitaker, president of Nourish America.

“By expanding our existing programs with a strong emphasis on prenatal nutrition with vitamin supplements and a balanced diet, Nourish America, our partners and benefactors will assure a healthy start for the next generation of Americans.”
