Did you know that every six days a black baby dies in Orange County? To learn why and to find out how to save our babies, join the Orange County Healthy Start Coalition as they host "Save Our Babies Day" on February 16th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 am at Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church. The Save Our Babies program began in 2001 in an effort to raise awareness that too many black babies were dying in their first year of life and there is an increasing racial disparity in birth outcomes. The Save Our Babies program combats this racial disparity by providing pregnant women and infants with medical, social, and educational services to assure healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. To RSVP to this event or to learn more about the Save Our Babies program, please visit our website at STAR94fm.com... STAR cares about our community...
