Infant mortality: An intolerable Florida tragedy | Editorial

T’kyia Toshee White, 32, checks the trach that is keeping her daughter Darionna Machelle Williams, 9-months-old, alive at home in Fort Myers on Friday, Feb. 9, 2024. Williams was born weighing 13 grams. She is hooked up to a heart monitor and other life saving machines. Florida is seeing a trend toward more babies being born premature and low birth weight. That means more resources will be needed to take care of them in the hospitals and once they go home. (Carline Jean/South Florida Sun Sentinel)
