Georgia gets poor grades for high preterm birthrate

The state Georgia has been given a grade “F” by the March of Dimes on Wednesday because the states reported a high number of premature births in the year. None of the U.S. states got a grade “A” and the best grades were received by “Vermont.”

In Georgia the preterm births increased by 20% and the president of March of Dimes, said Jennifer Howse said that it is unacceptable that the nation is failing on preterm babies. Cost of having preterm baby is very high.
