We help pregnant women and new moms in need have a healthy pregnancy and first year so every child But what is infant mortality? Sleep-related deaths
3.

Every year in central Ohio, 150 babies die before their first birthdays -- with black babies dying at 2.5 times the rate of white babies. CelebrateOne was created to carry out the eight recommendations of the Greater Columbus Infant Mortality Task Force to ensure that our community reaches the ambitious goal of reducing infant mortality by 40 percent and cutting the racial disparity gap in half ov

er the next five years. Infant mortality is the death of a child before they turn the age of one, and it is a measure of a community's health and social condition. The greatest gift our community can give to each baby is a healthy and safe first year of life that sets him or her on a path to thrive each year beyond that. To do so, CelebrateOne and its partners address the most significant factors that contribute to Columbus' high infant mortality rate:

1. Babies born too early and too small
2. Exposure to smoke during pregnancy and secondhand smoke in their early days of life
4. Birth defects
5. The health and safety of the neighborhoods in which we live, work, and play

CelebrateOne's Facebook, Twitter and website (www.CelebrateOne.Info) are here to be online resources for moms, moms-to-be, families, and all community members passionate about reducing infant mortality in Columbus. Every baby deserves to celebrate his or her first birthday. Together we can make a difference. Note:
