I am a pediatric nurse practitioner who believes that caring for the child begins during pregnancy (and earlier!). In my role at Star Legacy Foundation, I am able to support research, provide health education, and promote family support services that help families during pregnancy and beyond. Our goal is to prevent as many perinatal losses as possible, and to ensure that families have optimal bereavement care when prevention isn’t possible
