LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- This week, Atria Senior Living will make a $10,000 donation to Every Mother Counts to support the organization's mission of making pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother, everywhere.

Atria's 2018 Mother's Day online campaign encouraged residents, families and the general public to share stories about the traits they inherited from their mothers. In addition to celebrating mothers, the senior living company committed to giving Every Mother Counts $1 for every photo and $5 for every video shared on the Atria StoryWise™ app and social media using the hashtag #MomGenes.

Residents and families of more than 200 Atria communities across the U.S. and Canada participated in the campaign, sharing personal stories of motherhood in support of Every Mother Counts.

"We're excited to make this donation in honor of the more than 10,000 mothers we serve each day in our communities. One of the greatest lessons we've learned from these amazingly wise women is the importance of giving back and helping others," said Regan Atkinson, Senior Vice President – Customer Experience for Atria. "We believe in the work of Every Mother Counts and their efforts to achieve quality, respectful and equitable maternity care for all."

"Atria supports mothers and women by the quality of care offered to their residents in each of their communities," said Grace Lee Kellum, Director of Partnerships for Every Mother Counts. "Pregnancy and childbirth are not always the joyful events that we hope for. The Mother's Day campaign and Atria's partnership helps mothers access essential maternity care around the world."
