Here in Massachusetts the March of Dimes is fighting for the health of all moms, birthing people, and babies.

In 2021 our community raised over $1M, which helped us make the following efforts possible:

+ Extended Medicaid coverage to 365 days postpartum. This is a huge stride in ensuring that all birthing persons have high quality access to care. 

+ Locally led implicit bias trainings for healthcare workers at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Newton Wellesley Hospital, Boston Public Health Commission, and more. Attendees came from a broad range of professional backgrounds in an effort to close the health equity gap at all patient touchpoints.

+ We are hard at work preparing to open a new March of Dimes NICU Family Support® program at Boston Medical Center in 2023. As the largest safety net hospital in New England, many patients come from low-income and/or non-English speaking households.  

These are only some of our local accomplishments, and with your help we can do even more for families in the Commonwealth!
