DC infant mortality is at an historic low!
At 8 deaths per thousand, the women, children, and families in the District are experiencing healthier outcomes from the very start and making strides in closing the gap to the national average at 6.1. This is great news for our community as we have struggled for years to make a real impact on improving the health of our most vulnerable members.
Join NHSA in its efforts to promote the development of MCH programs and increase awareness to the issues of infant mortality, low birthweight and disparities in perinatal health. NHSA members are composed of Healthy Start project directors, maternal and child health professionals, social workers, health care providers, community and outreach workers and other individuals concerned about the well-being of women and children.
