Introduction
The March of Dimes is the parent agency for the North Carolina Folic Acid Council. The Council does not receive funding from the March of Dimes. Our funding comes from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and the North Carolina Attorney General’s office.
The mission of the North Carolina Folic Acid Council (NCFAC) is to ensure and improve the health of women and their children by promoting the benefits and consumption of folic acid. The NCFAC’s web site provides information, resources, referrals and data intended to assist the public in having healthy pregnancies and healthy births. The web site also provides information for health care professionals and offers opportunities for volunteering.
This Privacy Policy applies to all of our online activities.
