Dr. Bizzell understands the importance of fighting for the health of all moms and babies.
“As a public health advocate, I can’t think of a more important cause,” said Dr. Bizzell. “When you support the March of Dimes, you make a statement that you want to live in a world in which healthy moms and strong babies are a priority for us all.”
Dr. Bizzell has spent most of his career on public health issues related to access to and quality of medical, substance abuse and behavioral health services. He has extensive experience in collaborating and interacting with professional health and community organizations, as well as expert knowledge in identifying and treating medical diseases in the fields of primary care, mental health and substance abuse.

Moms and babies are facing higher risks than ever before.”
