Massachusetts Chapter

Every year in the United States, more than half a million babies are born too soon, 8,300 of them right here in Massachusetts. With your help, we work to improve the health of babies and support families if something does go wrong.

The March of Dimes Massachusetts Chapter has one goal: to help babies in our community start life in the healthiest way possible.  Through education and intervention, we help moms-to-be learn how to take care of themselves before, during and after their pregnancy. 

By raising funds, donating your talents or joining us in the Falmouth Road Race, you make a positive difference in the health of babies and families in neighborhoods like yours.
