Our mission at nourish

Nourish is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing resources and support for pregnant patients and mothers at every step of their journey. Combining science with service, we seek to offer assistance to those who choose pregnancy by ensuring they attain the necessary nutrients for fetal development and also safely leave the hospital with the resources and information to take care of their child right away. Our Baby Box Initiative is designed to distribute Baby Boxes (maternal-fetal care packages filled with essential resources including blankets, clothes, diapers, sanitary products, etc.) to underserved clinics in our community. Nourish’s mission speaks directly to my passion for neonatology and maternal-fetal medicine, two fields that function as the intersection of maternal health and developmental biology and serve both the authors and legacies of human life.

Socioeconomic issues are intertwined with the struggles of maternity; therefore, one of our primary interests is in finding low-cost alternatives to both the crucial fetal nutrients and resources for pregnant patients without extensive support systems and economic security. Nourish expands the knowledge of neonatology in both our members and the greater community, fostering a growing love of service and appreciation for the importance of caring for those who choose pregnancy. Our agenda includes not only community-based changes through recurring Baby Box Drives but also expansion goals regarding the implementation of legislation in support of pregnant people and their healthcare, ensuring the government stands strongly with us behind our mothers.
