Moms and babies need you now more than ever.
 
The medical professionals, volunteers and guests who make up our Nurse of the Year community are coming together in new, innovative ways to support moms and babies this year.
 
Data shows that the U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations in the world for childbirth. 1 Over 700 women die each year from pregnancy-related causes, and the CDC reports that 60 percent are preventable. The preterm birth rate is on the rise. Two babies die every hour in the United States. By participating in Nurse of the Year, you are making a big difference. 
 
Your support of March of Dimes helps fund:
  • Free virtual NICU support program for families
  • Virtual prenatal programs for moms-to-be
  • COVID-19 interventions and support for moms and babies
  • Programs that promote health equity for moms and babies and directly combat racial disparities in maternal and child health
  • Educational programs, including live Facebook panel discussions, to get info into the hands of moms and families
  • Necessary supplies for expectant mothers including blood pressure cuffs and masks
  • and so much more!

Over the course of 10 to 12 weeks, nurses are nominated by colleagues, supervisors or the families they have served. At a culminating awards event, March of Dimes then celebrates the profession and recognizes the most outstanding nurses in up to 18 diverse categories.
