Roswell, GA, July 16th, 2024. I was blessed beyond measure to present two $700 scholarships at the recent Beach Road Company annual meeting, where I had been invited to speak about FPI. The awards will be used for attendance to the 2025 National Association of Neonatal Therapists (NANT) conference. It was super cool to be able to show FPI's work in action at the meeting of a company that has been incredibly generous to the foundation. Christy Hupka, PT and Lauren Reichart, Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), both do miracle work in the special care NICU at Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies in Orlando, FL.
The Foundation for Premature Infants donated the scholarships so these brilliant therapists can stay current regarding best practices on how to care for premature infants, the most fragile vulnerable little people. Both Christy and Lauren commented on how important continuing education is to them.
"I'm excited FPI has raised enough money, through the generosity of companies like Beach Road, to be able to award these scholarships," said Michael D. Litten, Founder. The Foundation's core belief is, as Horton said so succinctly and eloquently: "a person's a person, no matter how small."
