Count the Kicks --- an AMCHP Best Practice --- is a proven solution to help you reduce stillbirth in your state. The evidence-based Count the Kicks program helped Iowa lower its stillbirth rate by 32 percent (2008-2018) in partnership with the Iowa Department of Public Health while the rest of the country remained relatively stagnant. Families are 10 times more likely to lose their baby to stillbirth than to SIDS, but most states do not have a plan to address stillbirth prevention. Join us for this highly informative session that will help you bring a low-cost, highly effective solution back to your state.
