Invest Tax Refund in Auto Care and Earn Valuable Dividends

0

BETHESDA, Md., March 14, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Although you may be thinking of ways to splurge with your tax refund, the Car Care Council recommends something more practical – invest some of that money in auto care and reap the financial benefits.

“According to the Internal Revenue Service, the average tax refund is over $3,100. By simply allocating a portion to vehicle maintenance and service, you will realize big dividends in the form of safety and dependability,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “The benefits of auto care don’t stop there. Your vehicle will perform more efficiently, saving money at the pump, and its useful life will be extended, postponing the major expense of purchasing a new car.”

With proper care, the typical vehicle should deliver at least 200,000 miles of safe, dependable performance. The most common routine maintenance procedures and repairs include checking the oil, filters and fluids, belts and hoses, brakes, tires and the HVAC system. The non-profit Car Care Council also recommends an annual tune-up and wheel alignment.

To help you get the most out of your vehicle investment and protect its long-term value, visit the Car Care Council’s website at www.carcare.org and sign up for the free custom service schedule.

March Of Dimes And Anthem Foundation Continue Efforts To Prevent Premature Births

March of Dimes Foundation Logo

WHITE PLAINS, New York, March 14, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — March of Dimes has announced a $1.1 million grant from the Anthem Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Anthem, Inc. to support programs across the country that  help prevent premature birth and improve mom and baby health.  

March of Dimes Foundation Logo

Prematurity is the #1 killer of babies in the U.S., and babies born even a few weeks early have higher rates of illness and hospitalization compared to full-term newborns. In addition to the toll on families, economic costs for prematurity are estimated at more than $26 billion annually by the National Academy of Medicine.

The funding provided by the Anthem Foundation will support March of Dimes community grants for CenteringPregnancy®, smoking cessation programs and programs to prevent unnecessary early elective delivery.

“This grant allows the March of Dimes to provide much-needed support and services for thousands of moms, to help them have healthy, full-term pregnancies and healthy babies,” said Paul E. Jarris, MD, MBA, senior vice president and chief medical officer of the March of Dimes. “The March of Dimes applauds Anthem Foundation for its dedication to better health for American families and their continued support of our mission to help give every baby a fighting chance.”

The $1.1 million grant to the March of Dimes is part of Anthem Foundation’s ongoing commitment to addressing health disparities and improving public health across the country. Through its Healthy Generations program, the Anthem Foundation is working to address some of the nation’s most complex health issues, among them, reducing the incidence of low birthweight babies and engaging mothers in prenatal care.

“Although a lot of progress has been made to prevent premature birth and improve mom and baby health, it’s critical that we continue to ensure programs are available and expanded to reach growing and diverse communities,” said Craig Samitt, MD, chief clinical officer at Anthem, Inc. “We’re proud to team with the March of Dimes in its efforts to drive cutting-edge research, treatment and outreach to give every baby a healthy start in life.”

The Anthem Foundation grant will enable the March of Dimes to make CenteringPregnancy, a group prenatal care model, available to thousands of women in Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

The grant also will provide smoking cessation services to women in Maine, New Hampshire, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.  Efforts in Connecticut and West Virginia will focus on reducing unnecessary early elective deliveries before 39 weeks of pregnancy.

The grant also will support the Healthy Babies are Worth the Wait® community program, which integrates public and clinical health, improves systems of care, and reduces preterm birth through a range of interventions, in Kansas, Kentucky and New York.

The new grant continues a longstanding relationship between Anthem Foundation and March of Dimes to improve maternal and infant health. Most recently, in 2015-2016, a $1 million Anthem Foundation grant helped the March of Dimes provide prevention services to 6,600 women, including 3,300 who participated in CenteringPregnancy. 

The March of Dimes Prematurity Campaign, launched in 2003, seeks to raise awareness of the problem and to lower the rate of premature birth to 8.1 percent of births by 2020 and to 5.5 percent by 2030.
