OUR VISION

We believe there is great hope for the future to prevent many stillbirths and neonatal deaths in the United States and around the world. We envision that through the utilization of technology, education, grassroots efforts, and partnership, we can empower families and health professionals to identify and protect vulnerable babies.

WE BELIEVE…

Many stillbirths and neonatal deaths are preventable.

Expectant parents should be informed about stillbirth risks and educated on ways to reduce any risks

Standard prenatal protocols should include third trimester ultrasounds to identify known stillbirth risk factors and subsequent management when risk factors are identified.

Pregnancies with risk factors for stillbirth, especially if multiple risk factors exist, should be managed as high-risk pregnancies

Data collected by hospitals about stillbirth and neonatal deaths should be expanded and coordinated among the states to provide better information to medical professionals, researchers, and the public.

Autopsies should be encouraged and performed consistently with established protocols.

Stillborn babies should be recognized with a certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth.

Families deserve support and guidance when facing the delivery of a stillborn baby, birth of a baby who will not survive, or death of a baby shortly after birth.

Stillbirth, neonatal death, birth injury, premature birth, and miscarriages have many common denominators – finding answers to stillbirth may enlighten the path to reducing all poor pregnancy outcomes.

Serving the surrounding communities of Los Angeles, we promote, support and provide assistance to families who have suffered a stillbirth. We provide educational materials to healthcare professionals, support legislation for stillbirth prevention and offer health pregnancy tips to pregnant families.
