Ohio’s Infant Mortality And Premature Delivery Rates Are Up

Recent research shows that Ohio babies are at a higher risk for dying in their first year of life, and at a higher risk of being born prematurely than in years past.

Why does this matter?

Infant mortality rate is often used as an indicator of the overall health of a population. And babies that are born prematurely are more likely to have medical problems as they grow older.

The issue is complex and there are many factors at play. In our white paper, we take a closer look at the issue, the causes, and explain actionable steps expectant mothers can take to help keep their babies safe.
