Today, March of Dimes donated five iPad-like tablets to each of the hospitals.
They include seven unique online applications designed for new mothers to find comfort and support, especially during a pandemic.
“Through technology they are linked to websites that inform and engage, but we have made it easy for them by uploading the applications that March of Dimes can provide for healthy moms and strong babies,” said Lisa Dillard, director for maternal infant health with March of Dimes, serving West Texas.
