Meet our Board of Directors
For nearly 50 years, Newborn Hope’s work and mission has been powered by volunteers. In the span of 5 decades more than 5 million volunteer hours have been dedicated to supporting families impacted by prematurity.
Newborn Hope’s Board of Directors is a group of our most dedicated and selfless volunteers. Contributing their time and unparalleled expertise, Newborn Hope is honored to work alongside these amazing individuals who contribute so much to our community.
Newborn Hope honors all of our volunteers who support our mission and do so much to change lives for premature infants, and we understand that life’s demands and circumstances sometimes impact our capacity to volunteer. Newborn Hope appreciates Marne O’Brien-Hillis’ service on our Board of Directors and most recently as President. As she is no longer serving, we want to thank President-Elect Dr. Martha Grubaugh for stepping in as Interim President for Newborn Hope. We look forward to continuing the great work of this organization, committed to advancing our mission to provide an even greater level of support to families impacted by prematurity.
