Memphis has the highest infant mortality rate among the nation's 60 largest cities. Babies deaths in Memphis are double that of the average rate of the national. An infant dies in Shelby County every 43 hours.
In 2002, 202 babies didn't see their first birthday. Think about that. That is enough babies to fill 10 kindergarten classrooms.

In 2002, 202 babies didn't see their first birthday. Think about that. That is enough babies to fill 10 kindergarten classrooms. By comparison, there were 122 homicide victims in the city and county last year. Several Memphis ZIP codes have infant death rates higher than scores of Third World countries. North Memphis' 38108, which include the tattered communities of Douglass and Hollywood, are deadlier for babies than Vietnam, El Salvador and Iran. Infant mortality is the barometer of a community's problems:
- poverty,
- pollution,
- crime,
- lack of education,
- access to health care and
- safe, affordable housing.
