National Infant Mortality Awareness Month

The National Healthy Start Association has worked with federal legislators to designate September as Infant Mortality Awareness Month. The goals of Infant Mortality Awareness Month are to increase national awareness of the contributing factors to infant mortality and urge community leaders to get involved in efforts to reduce the rate of infant mortality in this country. The National Healthy Start Association has produced a tool kit to help communities to spread the word about preventing infant mortality.
