Preventing Premature Birth

Camino Medical Group and the March of Dimes are teaming up to help prevent premature birth. The March of Dimes estimates that one out of every eight babies are born too soon. To help prevent this from happening in your family, learn the signs of preterm labor, assess if you are at risk, learn how to reduce your risk and talk to your doctor. The CMG OB department is committed to helping you achieve a happy and healthy pregnancy.

March of Dimes March for Babies

To help support the fight against preterm labor, CMG physicians, employees and their families participated in the 2004 March of Dimes March for Babies. On April 24, 2004 we joined our many communities and Sutter Health affiliates to walk and support our mission to offer superior prenatal health care to our patients and their families.
