The show highlights the contributions of Chicago’s Latino community. Hispanics are now the fastest growing ethnic group in the country. But a new study just released by the March of Dimes reveals that Hispanic mothers are much more likely to be confronting pre-term births and babies born with devastating birth defects. The Ñ Beat tells the emotional story of a Latino mother who lost her baby girl just hours after she was born. She is now working with the March of Dimes to try to reverse this tragic trend. Dr. George and Lucia offer their expertise to the story. The show will air again on Sunday July 27 at 2:30 pm on ABC 7. You can also view on demand, by clicking here. July 15, 2014 E – Newsletter
