The month of September is infant mortality awareness month, as determined by the U.S. Congress. Healthy Start programs nationwide are collaborating with community agencies and stakeholders to create awareness and educate the community about the high infant deaths in our community and how to reduce the rates. Worcester, Mass. has an infant mortality rate that is one of the highest in the state. G.
