Description: Ismael Torres-Castrodad of San Juan, Puerto Rico, born five weeks prematurely, has been named the March of Dimes 2016 National Ambassador. He’s the first child from Puerto Rico to be named to this position in the history of the March of Dimes.

Ismael’s story emphasizes the serious and complex problem of late preterm birth, (between 34-36 weeks of pregnancy). His story will resonate with millions of families because more than 70 percent of all preterm babies are born in this late preterm time frame, the March of Dimes says. And like so many other mothers of preemies, Isamari Castrodad did everything she could to have a healthy, full-term baby but Ismael still was born too soon.
