Celebrating Birth Defects Awareness Month

Thank you for taking the time to read our

e-newsletter!

January is Birth Defects Awareness Month. No two people living with birth defects are exactly alike. A community of support can help people with birth defects, no matter what experiences they are navigating. Everyone’s journey is unique, shaped by their specific condition, strengths, and the support system in place. #NBDAM #EveryJourneyMatters. You can find more information, by visiting the National Birth Defects Prevention Network.
