Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. The mission of March of Dimes (MOD) is to improve the health of mothers and babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.
We encourage every department to form a team to walk, celebrate and raise money and awareness. Let’s come together to fight for the health of moms and babies, and serve our community in true Texas Children’s style!
