March of Dimes, the leading nonprofit fighting for the health of all moms and babies, has awarded its 2020 March of Dimes Nursing Graduate Scholarship Award to five exceptional nurses for post-graduate and doctoral studies in the field of maternal-child nursing. The award recognizes and promotes excellence in nursing and furthers the organizations’ commitment to ensuring moms and babies receive the highest quality of medical care.
The nurses will each receive a $5,000 scholarship supported this year by Pampers®, a March of Dimes partner for more than 25 years.
“We’re so proud to honor these talented nurses for their exceptional care and commitment to the health of moms and babies and to support their ongoing education,” says Stacey D. Stewart, President and CEO of March of Dimes. “Our country is in the midst of a maternal and infant health crisis that has been compounded by this pandemic. Now more than ever, it’s imperative that every mom and baby receive the highest level of care to ensure they get the best possible start.”
“At Pampers, caring for the healthy development of all babies is at the core of who we are. Helping nurses ensure mothers and their babies have a bright beginning is a cause we’re pleased to support,” says Andre Schulten, P&G Vice President for Baby Care in North America. “We value the evidence-based resources the March of Dimes provides to nurses that ultimately aid in a healthy recovery for postpartum moms and their newborn’s overall development.”
