Fetal Infant Mortality Review

The Wayne County Fetal Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) Team aims to prevent infant deaths through better understanding of environmental, social, and economic factors leading to infant death. The Team reviews infant death cases to gather information that will help them understand the causes of infant death, and to reduce the rates of infant death.
