More than 20,000 pregnancies in the United States end in stillbirth each year. These heartbreaking losses are not inevitable—at least 1 in 4 U.S. stillbirths is likely preventable, and in pregnancies lasting 37 weeks or more, nearly half of stillbirths may be preventable.
Central Jersey Family Health Consortium, in collaboration with ProPublica, invites you to a special screening of "Before A Breath"—a groundbreaking documentary that brings real stories to the forefront and sparks crucial conversations about stillbirth prevention.
