Elevance Health Foundation

Since 2010, Elevance Health Foundation has partnered with March of Dimes to scale programs addressing maternal health, NICU family support, and equitable access to high-quality care.

Over the years, this collaboration has:

• Expanded access to evidence-based programs like group prenatal care and smoking cessation initiatives
• Supported quality improvement initiatives to eliminate non-medically indicated inductions and caesarean sections
• Delivered culturally responsive educational resources to families and clinicians
• Called attention to the growing issue of maternity care deserts and highlighted state level solutions
• Raised awareness and support through community engagement, volunteerism, and local leadership roles in March of Dimes events

This latest phase focuses on integrating support for families during a critical time while bringing mental health resources directly into NICUs to meet families where they are — at the bedside and beyond.

This partnership reflects Elevance Health Foundation's broader commitment to advancing health equity in communities with the greatest needs. By investing in proven programs and strategic partnerships, the Foundation works toward a future where ZIP code doesn't determine health outcomes.
