National Stillbirth Prevention Day was first recognized by Congress on Sept. 19, 2022. This day of awareness honors the tens of thousands of American families who lose a baby to stillbirth every year. The resolution asks Congress to resolve to do all it can to prevent the tragedy of stillbirth from happening to more families. In 2023, bipartisan resolutions designating Sept. 19 as National Stillbirth Prevention Day were introduced in the 118th Congress.
National Stillbirth Prevention Day is an opportunity to increase public awareness about the more than 21,000 babies who are stillborn in the U.S. every year, to promote stillbirth research and prevention, and to provide community to the many Americans who have experienced stillbirth.
We want to thank Congresswoman Alma Adams (D-North Carolina), Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa), Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Oregon), Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senator Cory Booker (D-New Jersey) for leading this Resolution.
Thank you to all of the organizations, advocates and elected officials who helped make this day a reality!
