We are grateful to The New York Times for its recent coverage of Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS), which highlights the profound impact of this condition on patients and families while underscoring the broader issue of cesarean overuse in the United States.

National Accreta Foundation was proud to contribute to the reporting as well as connect numerous accreta patients and families to share their experiences. We are deeply appreciative of the awareness this important piece brings to the complexities of PAS care and prevention.

Placenta accreta is a life-threatening condition in which the placenta attaches to scar tissue left by a C-section. It used to be extremely rare.

💚 We Did It — Thank You!! 💚

We are filled with gratitude for every accreta survivor, family member, and friend who joined us for this year’s Step Up for Accreta Virtual Step Challenge and Fundraiser.

Because of your incredible participation, generosity, and heart, we not only raised awareness for placenta accreta spectrum — we reached our fundraising goal of ✨$12,000! 🎉

Every step, every share, and every donation helps the National Accreta Foundation continue amplifying patient voices and improving outcomes for families affected by PAS.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for stepping up, spreading awareness, and walking beside us in this mission. 💪🫶
