Local Birth Center in the News

Recently the wonderful Family Health and Birth Center and, more specifically, the tireless Ruth Lubic were highlighted on a segment on CBS Evening News. The segment shows the work that Ruth and all of the people who work with her do for the community. Washington DC's infant mortality rate, as highlighted in the segment, is twice the national average. For the nation's capitol, that is a poor representation of the state of birth in the United States. Hopefully more hospitals in the area will take up the initiative of the Family Health and Birth Center and reverse the numbers on infant mortality. Until then I hope the Ruth and the center continue to receive the funding they need to serve all the people of DC. They are such a vital resource for this area.
