March of Dimes recognizes Halifax Health
Halifax Health has been recognized by the March of Dimes and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Florida district, for successfully reducing early elective deliveries without a medical reason before 39 completed weeks of pregnancy.
Medical experts agree that mothers should refrain from inducing labor and instead deliver after 39 weeks, if at all possible, because of the significant developments still taking place, according to a statement from Halifax Health.
“We joined in this very important safety initiative last year with a mission to educate the women of our community about the risks of scheduling deliveries early,” said Bonnie Wittman, service line administrator for Halifax Health-Center for Women and Infant Health.
The March of Dimes presented Halifax Health with a special recognition banner as part of a national campaign.
