CATES: Prematurity awareness

Spotlight

November is national Prematurity Awareness Month, building up to November 17, which is World Prematurity Awareness Day. It is so important that people are aware of and understand why premature birth is such a concern. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the March of Dimes, premature birth is when a baby has been born before 37 weeks of pregnancy.
