WALK TO REMEMBER

Our “Walk to Remember” event is
held each year in October to
observe National Pregnancy and
Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

Before Pregnancy

Considering becoming pregnant? Babies born to healthy women are more likely to be healthy. A healthy lifestyle is the most important thing you can do to protect you and your baby-to-be. Now is the time to get healthy, before you get pregnant.

Expecting Mothers

Expecting a child? This may be your first child, or you may have been pregnant previously and are expecting again. The things you do and the food you eat, the vitamins and drugs you take, and what you drink will have a major effect on your baby, and on you.

GRIEVING

Grieving the loss of your baby is one the most difficult experiences you may face as a parent. While nothing can remove the pain you feel in your heart during this time, sharing your thoughts and feelings with others who have had a similar experience can help you process the death of your baby. Connecting with others who have experienced infant death can be comforting and therapeutic. Capital Area Healthy Start Coalition can provide you with the care and support you need during this important time in your life.

We support grieving families who are dealing with infant death or a stillborn child through several programs and events year round. Our annual “Walk to Remember,” an evening of comfort, wisdom and hope for families who have suffered the heartbreaking loss of an infant, is attended by approximately 200 people each year. In addition to our annual events, we gather the stories of those who have recently experienced the loss of a fetus or infant to better understand how these tragedies occur and how we can prevent them from happening to others.
