Illinois is sixth in the nation by population and 5th by total number of births annually.

Despite some recent improvements in the state’s infant mortality rate, significant racial and ethnic disparities exist. While infant mortality is slightly above the national average, infant mortality more than doubles for black infants.

By increasing access to prenatal vitamins and minerals, we are helping to support healthier pregnancies and birth outcomes for mothers in Illinois.
