Birth Defects
Birth defects and birth disorders affect over 150,000 children every year in America. Although we know that a birth defect may be caused by genetic or environment factors, over sixty percent of birth defect causes are currently not known. Education on prevention, causes, and treatment is one way to help families manage birth defects.
