Since 1972, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority has enjoyed a partnership with the March of Dimes in an effort to encourage women to seek prenatal care within the first trimester of pregnancy, thereby increasing the prevention of birth defects and infant mortality. Nationwide, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. sponsors over 175 Stork's Nests. Last year, the Stork's Nest program served over 28,000 women.
The Stork's Nest Program is designed
to promote prenatal care participation and healthy behaviors during the
pregnancy through two components - incentives and education. Stork's Nest
clients "earn" points toward incentives, such as maternity or
baby care items, through a variety of positive, health-promoting activities
such as attending prenatal care appointments, participating in prenatal
education classes, keeping appointments for well-baby visits. The Stork's
Nest prenatal education sessions provide information, educational materials,
and a variety of other resources and referrals that help clients take
good care of themselves and their babies.
