National Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition

The National Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition (HMHB) was an American non-profit organization founded in 1981 in response to the US Surgeon General's conference on infant mortality. The mission was to improve the quality and reach of public and professional education related to prenatal and infant care. The six lead organizations establishing HMHB were the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the March of Dimes, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Nurses Association (ANA), the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, and the United States Public Health Service.

HMHB’s mission evolved into a movement to improve the health and safety of mothers, babies and families through educational materials and collaborative partnerships. The coalition had membership of over 100 local, state and national organizations and does outreach, education and advocacy with healthcare professionals, parents and policymakers. Among the coalition’s goals: reducing infant mortality, premature birth and postpartum depression, as well as other health and safety issues facing mothers and infants.

In May 2015, the organization's operations moved to Zero to Three, the National Center for Infants, Toddler and Families.
