Remembrance Day on October 15th to raise awareness
about infant mortality in Tulsa County. Families who have
suffered a pregnancy loss or infant death will gather at Floral
Haven for a Memorial Walk to the Garden of Angels and a
candlelighting ceremony to honor the lives of their babies.
Tulsa County has
one of the highest infant mortality rates in the state – 8.9
deaths per 1,000 live births which puts Tulsa County at 29%
higher than the national average. This is due to a variety of
factors and crosses both economic status and ethnic heritage.
For more
information on the event or to get soundbites for your audience,
please call The Tristesse Grief Center at 918.587.1200.
Professional counselors are available for interviews.
