Event summary

Join us for the inaugural Bridge Walk for Babies on Saturday, July 12th, 2025, in the beautiful Palm City, Martin! This uplifting event aims to raise awareness about the vital need for accessible maternity care in our community following the recent closure of Martin County's only labor and delivery unit. The Bridge Walk for Babies is not just a walk; it’s a movement to support the establishment of a community-based birthing center that prioritizes safe and local delivery for mothers-to-be.

Participants will gather to show their support for innovative initiatives like the MOM Mobile, which brings essential prenatal care directly to underserved neighborhoods. This event is a perfect opportunity to unite as a community and make a real difference in the future of maternity care. Plus, you can grab some stylish merchandise to wear while you walk and showcase your commitment to this important cause. Let’s come together to create change and ensure that every mother has access to the care she deserves!

Organiser's description

On April 1st, Martin Countys only labor and delivery unit closed its doors, leaving local women without a hospital to safely deliver their babies.
At Martin County Healthy Start, we are solution-driven, so were taking action. We're laying the foundation for a community-based birthing center that puts care back where it belongs: close to home.

Join us on July 12th for our very first Bridge Walk for Babies, a powerful event to raise awareness about the urgent changes in maternity care and show how you can help shape the future.

From launching the MOM Mobile, which brings prenatal care directly into underserved neighborhoods, to planning the birth center itself, it all begins and ends with one thing: community.

We also launched a merch store, where those who are interested in joining can rock a shirt while they walk! The link to the store can be found HERE. https://www.bonfire.com/bridgewalkforbabies/?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=post_campaign_launch&utm_campaign=bridgewalkforbabies&utm_content=default

Be part of the solution. Walk with us!
