“The March of Dimes is committed to reducing the rate of premature births and helping more babies get a healthy start,” said Douglas A.

Tom Campbell, Executive VP and General Manager of Healthy Advice Networks, added, “Working with the March of Dimes is a wonderful opportunity for us to reach patients and caregivers with vital messages regarding infant health. We know that women are most focused on their health and the health of their unborn babies when they are in their OB/GYN’s office and hearing these messages encourages a more informed discussion with their physician. Together with the March of Dimes, we are giving babies a fighting chance against threats to their health.”
