March of Dimes celebrates eight decades of supporting moms and their babies with a special brunch this month.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

After Richard and Shannon Edie\u2019s fraternal twins, Dylan and Savannah, were born two months early by emergency C-section, there was a lot of nervous energy in the air. The couple had lost their twin girls a year prior, so the entire journey was \u201ca rough road to our babies,\u201d according to Shannon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I blocked out a lot of that time in our lives; it was really stressful for us, certainly the pregnancy,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Dylan and Savannah spent six weeks at Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women & Children\u2019s neonatal intensive care unit, and during their stay, the expert hands in the department helped put the twins on a path to success. The time spent was also beneficial for Richard and Shannon, who appreciated the hands-on assistance from staff (even when it came to teaching basic parenting skills like how to do a swaddle) as well as the helpful guidance from March of Dimes, which addressed questions and concerns while providing resources for parents with children in the NICU. Despite the harrowing circumstances, the Edies couldn\u2019t have asked for a better experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I think about our time in the NICU, I have only positive memories, and part of that was the support the staff and March of Dimes provided,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. (Angela) Pratt and the staff at Kapi‘olani and March of Dimes, we believe were an integral part of our story, which is still being written,\u201d Shannon adds.<\/p>\n

Now almost 4 years old, Dylan and Savannah are happy, healthy and enjoying life with their parents, family and friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have done amazing,\u201d shares Shannon. \u201cYou would never know they were premature, and only 2 and 3 pounds when they were born.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fraternal twins Dylan and Savannah Edie spent their ~ rst six weeks inside Kapi\u2018olani Medical Center\u2019s NICU.
<\/p><\/div>\n

The story of the Edies is one of many happening in Hawai‘i and around the world. Globally, 15 million babies are born prematurely, and March of Dimes is there to fund research, education, advocacy and community programs to help expecting moms have full-term, healthy pregnancies. And if anyone can put an end to premature births, it\u2019s March of Dimes, which had to shift its mission away from curing polio after helping to eradicate the disease. Research, funded in part by grants from the then-March of Dimes (formerly known as National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis), enabled the creation of an effective vaccine in 1955. By 1979, the same year March of Dimes donned its new moniker, the U.S. was polio-free. This enabled March of Dimes to focus on its current mission of improving birth outcomes.<\/p>\n

With a new team in place locally \u2014 led by executive director for the Hawai‘i market Candice Fajardo \u2014 the nonprofit organization is ready to hone in on rebuilding and rebranding.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to create an impact with our mission, being able to look at all lenses of pregnancy for healthy moms and babies,\u201d Fajardo explains. \u201cEducation is really important to us, and we want to be more transformational than transactional.\u201d<\/p>\n

Already, the local team has jumped into action, collecting supplies for military families affected by the contaminated water at the Red Hill underground storage facility at Pearl Harbor. It\u2019s also partnered with Hui M\u0101lama Ola N\u0101 ‘\u014ciwi on the Big Island to provide fresh produce and prenatal kits for pregnant families. Fajardo also has plans to use a mobile van to bring health care to pregnant mothers in communities around the state, and her team is working on getting a full-time NICU family support program up and running \u2014 and not just at Kapi‘olani, but at hospitals around the state, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce a baby is born premature, the families are in the NICU from a week to months, and providing a family support coordinator goes a long way,\u201d notes Fajardo. \u201cWhen we hear stories from families like the Edies, who say that if it wasn\u2019t for March of Dimes offering these services, it would have been such a dark time in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The organization continues to be proactive about prenatal education, and that begins by helping mothers to understand proper nutrition and why making healthy choices matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur whole future starts with moms and babies, and a lot of it starts before you even think of conceiving,\u201d explains Howard Lee, March of Dimes board chair, and president and CEO of UHA Health Insurance.<\/p>\n

Education, though, extends far beyond just the mother, and March of Dimes is actively working to partner with organizations that will holistically perpetuate its mission of \u201chealthy moms, strong babies.\u201d One of its newest board members, for example, is U.S. Renal Care, which is helping the organization to educate mothers about diabetes and hypertension. Lee, for his part, looks at it with a different lens and puts an emphasis on educating employers because \u201cthe majority of birthing parents will probably be working,\u201d he shares.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that the March of Dimes team has its boots on the ground in Hawai‘i, but it\u2019s also doing its part to aid in funding innovation on a large scale.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s this amazing national research arm,\u201d Lee says. \u201cThey take different disciplines in medicine to figure out what causes a mom to deliver prematurely. We can speculate age, ethnicity or multiple births, but it\u2019s not conclusive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The research, though, is coming along nicely, and they\u2019re getting closer to understanding precisely why a mother might deliver earlier than normal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m crossing my fingers for the day we can discover that and cure premature birth,\u201d Lee adds.<\/p>\n

MARCH FOR MOMS, BABIES, HOPE<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

March of Dimes, Hawai\u2018i Chapter is continuously working to educate, empower and support moms, and one way the community can help is by taking part in its March of Hope: A Brunch to Honor Moms on March 27 at Alohilani Resort Waik\u012bk\u012b Beach. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The fundraising event will recognize Dr. Angela Pratt, chair of obstetrics and gynecology at Kapi\u2018olani Medical Center for Women & Children (the first Native Hawaiian and first female to hold the position), as well as the late Martha Smith, the former CEO of Kapi‘olani Medical Center and executive vice president of O\u2018ahu operations for Hawai‘i Pacific Health, for their efforts in supporting moms and babies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was Martha Smith\u2019s dream to build the Diamond Head Tower (where the NICU is located at Kapi‘olani), so that these babies could be cared for in the best possible environment,\u201d explains Pratt. \u201cWhen I first met Martha decades ago, we often dreamed of this and what we could do to make this happen. Martha was a visionary, a woman of action, an exemplary leader who brought dreams to reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Pratt, the story of the Diamond Head Tower has come full circle, as her journey with the hospital started before she was even born. Pratt\u2019s mother was admitted to Kapi‘olani after sustaining injuries during a motor vehicle accident. After emergency surgery, Pratt\u2019s mom was admitted for preterm labor.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn those times, a 24-week fetus would never survive if born,\u201d Pratt explains. \u201cLuckily, both of us survived and she carried me to full term where I was born at Kapi‘olani Center for Women & Children in excellent health. I am so proud to have been delivered at Kapi\u2018olani.\u201d<\/p>\n

During March of Hope, guests can also expect a fashion show featuring moms and babies, entertainment by Anuhea and Ginny Tiu, and delicious food from award-winning Alohilani Resort Waik\u012bk\u012b Beach.<\/p>\n

For co-chair Ellie Ventula-Honda, March of Dimes is an organization close to her heart. Born premature at just under 5 pounds at St. Francis Hospital, Ventula-Honda now is an advocate for education and support for moms and babies in Hawai‘i and beyond. She and fellow co-chair Kelly Sanders, executive vice president of operations at Highgate, look forward to having each guest better understand the mission of March of Dimes and how it benefits not only moms and babies, but the community at large. Their hope is that each guest \u201cleaves the event knowing that their continued support will help to make an impact in funding education and resources for improving quality prenatal care for moms and babies.\u201d<\/p>\n

And its newly imagined brunch isn\u2019t all the organization has planned this spring. On April 23, March of Dimes presents its flagship fundraiser, the 52nd annual March for Babies: A Mother of a Movement, at Kapi‘olani Park.<\/p>\n
