Text4baby Marks First Ever Free National Mobile Health Initiative Addressing Rising Infant Mortality Rates

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 4, 2010 -- Today, BABYCENTER®, the leading global resource for new and expectant parents, announced that it is an implementation partner of Text4baby – a new, free mobile information service providing timely health information and tips to pregnant women and new moms from pregnancy through a baby’s first year. BABYCENTER, the premier global parenting digital media company, was instrumental in the research, promotion and creation of the bilingual mobile messaging content used in the Text4Baby program.

Text4baby is made possible through an unprecedented broad, public-private partnership that includes government, corporations, academic institutions, professional associations, tribal agencies and non-profit organizations.
