The Star Legacy Foundation supports stillbirth research and education projects through a network of parents, grandparents, families and friends of stillborn babies as well as dedicated healthcare professionals that believe stillbirth prevention is not only possible but probable.
30,000 babies are stillborn each year in the US in the final days before their are to be born. For most the cause is never known and these babies are otherwise healthy. Stillbirth statistics in the US have not changed in over 40 years in spite of great advancements in healthcare technology.
