UC Irvine Medical Center CEO heads 'March for Babies'

UC Irvine Medical Center CEO Terry A. Belmont will chair the 2010 March of Dimes, Orange County Division’s “March for Babies,” overseeing fundraising efforts for the Sunday, April 25 walk. The event supports efforts to combat premature birth, a condition affecting more than 500,000 babies in the U.S. annually and the No. 1 cause of newborn death. “UC Irvine Medical Center is Orange County’s only healthcare institution serving high-risk pregnant women and high-risk infants under one roof,” Belmont said. “Our partnership with the March of Dimes is a great community cause to rally behind: helping babies.” This year’s fundraising goal is $750,000. Walkers of all ages, including student, family and corporate teams, are encouraged to participate.
