Community Cares for Babies Cherishing New Chapters Access to comprehensive maternal care is vital for healthy beginnings, yet disparities persist. In the South Bronx, challenges such as higher rates of preterm births (11.0% in 2023) and infant mortality (5.2 per 1,000 live births, exceeding citywide rates) underscore the critical need for community support and resources for expecting families to ensure better newborn care outcomes.
Lincoln Hospital recently hosted a heartwarming giveaway baby shower, showering expectant parents from the community with essential gifts for their upcoming arrivals. The joyful event provided a much-needed boost for families, offering everything from diapers and wipes to clothing and other newborn necessities. This initiative by Lincoln Hospital highlights its commitment to supporting growing families in the South Bronx, ensuring they feel celebrated and better equipped for the journey of parenthood.
