why march for babies

Each year, premature babies cost American businesses $26 billion. The March of Dimes can help educate your employees on how to have healthy babies, which in turn can help reduce costs for American businesses. You can see how helping moms have healthy babies makes good business sense. Sign up for March of Dimes Healthy Babies Healthy Business, a no-cost, educational worksite wellness program that promotes healthy pregnancies and a family-friendly work environment.

“GE and the March of Dimes share a unique history — dating all the way back to 1947 when GE equipment was modified and provided to the March of Dimes to support polio patients. In the 1950’s, the March of Dimes helped administer polio shots for GE employees across the United States. Today at GE, employees dedicate their personal time to community support — because it matters to them. They’re making a difference for their friends, their families and for the March of Dimes. I’m proud to be selected as 2013 Chairman for the March for Babies campaign.”

Bill Fitzgerald,
Vice President and General Manager, GE Aviation National Chair, March for Babies
