Every year in Franklin County, approximately 150 babies die before their first birthday. While national infant mortality rates are decreasing, the number of Ohio infants who died before their first birthday increased from 1,005 in 2015 to 1,024 in 2016. In Franklin County, from January-August, 2017, preliminary data indicates that 105 babies have died, 8 of whom died in a sleep-related death (1 out of every 13). The CelebrateOne Connector Corps program is an effort to reverse these trends by connecting women and families to resources.
Emergency action is requested for these contract modifications in order to ensure that the work on reducing infant mortality is not interrupted
FISCAL IMPACT: The funds for these contract modifications are budgeted within the City’s Private Grants Fund, Fund Number 2291.
