About this Cause

May is NEC Awareness Month, a time to recognize the urgent need for progress in understanding and preventing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a devastating intestinal disease that affects premature and medically fragile infants. The NEC Society’s mission is to build a world without NEC by advancing research, education, and advocacy to overcome the inadequate treatment and prevention options that have thwarted progress for decades. By uniting patient-families, clinicians, and scientists, the NEC Society is driving collaborative efforts to ensure that no baby or family has to endure the suffering caused by NEC. You can be a part of this movement by supporting our work this May for NEC Awareness Month.
