- Fewer babies are born with birth defects of the brain and spine.
- More premature babies survive because surfactant therapy
helps them breathe. - More babies than ever get newborn screening tests for
life-threatening disorders that can be treated if detected early. - Families of babies in intensive care can get emotional support
and the help they need to cope throughout difficult times - Pregnant women who can't get to prenatal care can have it
brought to them by mobile health units
since 1970, the March of Babies has raised $2 billion to help families have healthier babies
