In a show of global medical collaboration, our cardiovascular team recently welcomed two doctors from Howrah, India, to see how we provide high-quality, complex care that improves outcomes for children with heart anomalies. This was through our partnership with Children's HeartLink, a Twin Cities-based nonprofit dedicated to saving children’s lives by transforming pediatric heart care in underserved parts of the world. https://lnkd.in/gS_QNYFR
The Empathy Toolkit also includes a Belittling Agility Narrowing Device (BAND). In the workbook, students are told to wrap the device around the back of their hand, around their pinky finger and thumb. This will give their hand limited mobility, mimicking the effects of paralysis, joint issues or injury. They are then tasked with performing every-day tasks such as teeth-brushing, with the BAND in place. They then switch hands, do it again, and record their thoughts. We need some help to continue distributing the Empathy Toolkits. Please consider a tax-deductible donation to Lifetime of Impact, a project of San Francisco Public Health Foundation. https://lnkd.in/gRmkSRqw

Fundraisers and nonprofit leaders: learn more about converting clients into donors.
Come join us on March 20th for our next luncheon: From Supported to Supporter: Converting Those Served by Our Mission to Donors Whether we are treating patients, molding minds or working to improve lives generally, the work we do often means our constituents move through our organization and come out better on the other side. Having experienced our missions first-hand, these individuals can be some of our most likely donors. Join us for a panel discussion about converting those we serve into donors to our mission.
Say hello to Oof—your new, well-meaning (though sometimes overactive) best friend! Oof is a pain signal and quite misunderstood. Far too often we view pain as something negative. On the contrary, pain plays a big role in keeping us safe! At the Meg Foundation, we know that explaining pain—especially to kids—can be tough. That’s why we use characters like Oof and other illustrated friends to help kids and families understand pain and their experiences with it. These visual metaphors make the complex world of pain care approachable, relatable, and (even) fun! 💜 Your support helps us continue creating content and resources that make pain, and pain care, easier to understand, more approachable, and more empowering for kids and families (and healthcare providers, too). As we head into the end of the year, please consider giving a gift to help us build on this important work and reach that many more kids and families. This is 'bigger' than fundraising—it’s about changing lives. 👉 Make a gift today because it's 'a big deal' → https://lnkd.in/eau3W4PC

Community Impact | Strategic Planning | Advocacy | Public Policy | Volunteer | Director, MCH Collective Impact at March of Dimes
Today March of Dimes released our 2024 Report Card, showcasing the state of mom and baby health in our country and in Texas. Since the initial release in 2008, one thing that has remained constant: an alarmingly high preterm birth rate. In Texas, 1 in 9 babies is born before 37 weeks gestation, and stark disparities exist between our Black and white babies. The US must prioritize the health of its moms and babies. We can change the tide of the maternal and infant health crisis by taking urgent action today to help ensure a healthy tomorrow for all families. We can all make a profound impact for today and future generations by investing in our communities, advocating for policy change, and raising funds for critical research and programs.
