ARLINGTON, Va., May 12, 2023 ~ The March of Dimes, a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to the health of all moms and babies, has announced two recipients of its 2023 Nursing Scholarship Awards.

We are honored to invest in advancing the careers of the remarkable nurses on the front lines dedicated to the very same mission."
