Founded in 1993, Better BedRest, Inc. is an advocacy, public awareness and volunteer-driven non-profit whose purpose is to provide support, resources
and information to pregnant women who are prescribed bedrest by their physicians or midwives.

Together with our premier partner, Howard County General Hospital: A Member of Johns Hopkins Medicine, Better BedRest shines a light on a growing prenatal problem that affects over 700,000 women in the U.S. each year.

Better BedRest and partner Howard County General Hospital hosted a Special Benefit Event with Dr. Brad Sachs last Thursday, April 23, 2009 at the Historic Oakland in Columbia MD.
