Rockdale/Newton/Walton March for Babies May 10th

“For more than 75 years, moms and babies have benefited from March of Dimes research, education, vaccines, and breakthroughs, including right here, in our own community.

Rockdale Medical Center has a Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, or a NICU, that provides care for babies that may be born too soon or for babies that may be experiencing an illness right after birth that may compromise their health.  The babies born here in our community can stay here and receive the care that they need in order to recover, grow, and thrive.  The treatment and research that helps and saves our babies locally is locally supported by the March of Dimes.

In Georgia, 1 in 8 babies in Georgia is born too soon.  In an average week in Georgia: 2,546 babies are born; 336 are born too soon; 237 are born weighing
