Our 36 week +1 granddaughter was not on the healthcare teams radar as a NEC risk yet she developed it at 3 days old. She required a colostomy which was reversed at 4 months and now she is a perfectly healthy 6 year old precious child. We are so grateful for her!

About From Pain to Power
Necrotizing enterocolitis is a devastating intestinal disease that affects vulnerable infants during their first weeks and months of life. Up to 30% of the babies who develop NEC will die, and survivors often face life-long health challenges. Yet, few people outside of the NICU have even heard of the disease. Throughout May, we will elevate the conversation around NEC and expose the scars, the trauma, and the stillness that come after a NEC diagnosis. Our goal is to empower families and stakeholders to join the international community that’s working to build a world without NEC.
