Every year in the United States, more than 20,000 babies are stillborn. Despite advances in medical care, the stillbirth rate has remained largely unchanged for more than three decades. Research suggests that nearly one in four of these deaths may be preventable.
It doesn’t have to be this way! We have proven solutions that can save lives today. Learn more about our efforts to support policies, legislation and programs that can prevent preventable stillbirths.
We hear time and time again from Congressional staffers that hearing from constituents is the number one thing that gets Congress to ACT. We encourage you to get involved in advocating for change!
If you haven’t done so already, please lend your voice to this movement by taking action to support stillbirth prevention legislation at the state and national level.
