Healthy Babies Are Worth the Wait

Healthy Babies Are Worth the Wait is a multifaceted partnership of the March of Dimes, the Johnson & Johnson Pediatric Institute, and the Kentucky Department for Public Health.

The primary goal of the initiative is a 15 percent reduction in the rate of "preventable" singleton preterm births - particularly babies born late preterm or four to six weeks early - in three targeted intervention sites in Kentucky:

• King's Daughters' Medical Center in Ashland
• Trover Health System's Regional Medical Center of Hopkins County
• UK Albert B. Chandler Hospital in Lexington

Health care teams at each site provide mothers-to-be with an integrated approach of education, counseling and clinical care. More information
