November 17 is World Prematurity Day

November is Prematurity Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the impact premature birth has on babies and families. According to March of Dimes, the U.S. preterm birth rate stands at a 15-year high, with 1 in 10 babies born too soon each year. We invite you to wear purple on November 17 in support of World Prematurity Day.

Preventing prematurity is a core goal of HMAA’s Baby & Me program, designed to help expectant moms and their babies stay healthy during and after pregnancy. Baby & Me provides great incentives and supplemental care to expectant moms who participate in our free and innovative maternity program.

Nearly 1 in 2 people in the U.S. has diabetes or prediabetes. HMAA members have free access to VP Transform, an innovative digital diabetes prevention program powered by Virgin Pulse. View or download our program flyer.
