NPQIC has successfully enrolled all 47 birthing facilities in the State of Nebraska as member hospitals.

Hot Off the Press
On November 16th, the March of Dimes released the 2023 Prematurity Report Card for the United States and Nebraska. The U.S. received a D+ and Nebraska fell to a D- (D). The preterm birth rate in Nebraska climbed to 11.3% (10.8), the highest it has been in the last 10 years. Significant disparities continue to exist for Black and Indigenous Groups.
