Advocating for policies that impact the health of babies is essential to the March of Dimes mission and to improving outcomes for infants born prematurely or those who spend time in a neonatal intensive care unit. Neonatal nurses directly understand the needs of premature and critically ill infants and their families. That professional expertise can make a tremendous difference in lawmakers’ understanding and promotion of a needed policy change. Come and learn how your passionate care for babies and their families can tell an important story leading to policy change on the state and federal level.
