NEWBORN FOUNDATION

Description

Our vision is that every newborn baby will have an equal opportunity to survive and thrive. In seven years, our small but ambitious non-profit has enabled 20 million newborns to be screened for the most common life-threatening conditions newborns face in their first few days of life including Critical Congenial Heart Defects, pneumonia and sepsis. After one little girl was born in Minnesota with a critical congenial heart defect in 2010, we have promoted newborn screenings for little babies like her throughout the U.S. with our advocacy in domestic policy. We work around the world bringing medical devices, training materials and implementing our life-saving programs. In 2018, we will be reaching 500,000 newborns on our new project sites in India, Mongolia, Mexico, Peru & Bolivia.
