Premature birth and its complications are the largest contributor to infant death in this country. Each year in the U.S. more than 22,000 babies die—that’s two babies every hour—and approximately 1 in 10 babies is born prematurely. The number of infants born too soon increased for the fourth year in a row, according to the National Center for Health Statistics based on 2018 data. Additionally, racial and ethnic disparities in preterm birth rates persist with the rate among Black women being 49% higher than the rate among all other women.

Sigma Gamma Rho is also concerned with teenage pregnancy and parenthood in the U.S. Approximately 13 percent of all birth defects affect babies born to teenage mothers. Adolescent childbearing presents health risks to both moms and their babies. These health risks have long-term consequences for teenagers, their babies and society.

Through Project Cradle Care Prenatal Health Program, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., and the March of Dimes join forces with medical professionals and community-based organizations to educate and raise awareness in high-risk communities of prematurity prevention
