While how we come together may change, we can still make a real difference for moms and babies, at a time when they need us the most. We are following CDC guidelines to avoid mass gatherings and are rapidly preparing for an exciting, virtual format for our 2020 Construction & Transportation Awards experience.
Data show that the U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations in the world for childbirth. Over 700 women die each year from pregnancy-related causes, and the CDC reports that 60 percent are preventable. The preterm birth rate is on the rise. Two babies die every hour in the United States. By joining our Construction & Transportation Awards community you are making a big difference.
