We want your business, church, club, or community organization to help us get the word out about reducing infant mortality in Tennessee.   Sadly, Tennessee is ranked 48th in the nation for its high infant mortality rate. A state’s infant mortality rate is calculated from the number of deaths in babies under one-year-old per 1,000 live births.

Please make your own infant mortality display, just like this one, by downloading the posters and brochures seen here.

All materials can be copied on 8 ½” x 11” paper and displayed on a standard tabletop display or bulletin board.  As well as the message posters, please also look at the handouts you can copy from this site too! 

We are also happy to share all the materials and articles used on each of the Infant Mortality Web magazines at this site. Just like the brochures and posters, they can be copied for additional handouts or displays.  

To personalize your display, collect baby picture from friends to arrange around the messages. Pictures of babies enjoying their 1st birthday cakes are always an attention getter! If you can’t download the posters to a color printer, consider using them in black and white and adding colorful poster board behind them. Click on “contact us” above and send us an e-mail with pictures of your display. We’d love to hear from you. 

If you need something not seen here or have questions about infant mortality, please call our
