TEXT4BABY – INNOVATIVE MOBILE HEALTH PROGRAM

INNOVATIVE MOBILE HEALTH PROGRAM PROVIDES ESSENTIAL HEALTH TIPS TO PREGNANT WOMEN AND NEW MOMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY

Text4baby program plays a significant role in health care by delivering text messages to those who need it most

Each year in the U.S., more than 500,000 babies are born prematurely and approximately 28,000 children die before their first birthday. With one in four births today to a Hispanic mother, it is imperative that Hispanic moms be armed with tools and resources necessary to carry out a healthy pregnancy and raise healthy babies. Unfortunately, Latinos are disproportionately affected due to a number of health barriers and lack of access to care, resulting in lower birth weight, higher preterm rates, and less frequent prenatal visits.
