The Newborn Foundation is a Minnesota-based international 501(c)3 non-profit organization that advocates for newborn screening and works to develop and implement programs, technologies and policies that reduce infant mortality. The organization has been integral in the policy development, adoption and implementation of technologies for early detection, intervention and care of the youngest patients, including the landmark addition of universal newborn pulse oximetry (CCHD) screening to the federal Routine Uniform Screening Panel (RUSP). BackgroundThe Newborn Foundation is credited with persuading the United States Department of Health and Human Services to formally recommend universal pulse oximetry screening for congenital heart defects in every child born in the United States.[1] Annamarie Saarinen co-founded the Newborn Foundation in 2010 after her daughter, Eve Saarinen, was nearly discharged from the hospital nursery with an undetected critical congenital heart defect (CCHD).[2] Saarinen and co-founder Jim Bialick formed the Newborn Coalition, a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization in 2010 and launched the Newborn Foundation shortly thereafter to work on advocacy and policies in newborn screening and the deployment of medical technologies and health information technologies to reduce infant mortality and improve newborn health outcomes. The Foundation has helped draft model legislation, lobby policymakers and support advocacy for newborn screening in more than 30 U.S. states. Since 2012, the Foundation has awarded the Hubert H. Humphrey "Dawn of Life” Award to four U.S. policymakers. It has also presented the R. Rodney Howell Award for Newborn Health, and the EVE Innovation Award for achievements in newborn screening, research, policy and technology.[3] BORN projectAfter successfully implement policies in the United States, the Newborn Foundation launched the BORN (Birth Oximetry Routine for Newborns) project. The BORN project is a global health initiative that aims to bring affordable newborn screening resources, training, education and policy frameworks to resource-challenged settings and low and middle-income countries (LMICs). The BORN Project was among the first joint commitments to the United Nations Secretary General’s Every Woman Every Child (EWEC) initiative. Developed in partnership with Masimo, the project deployed the first mobile-device enabled pulse oximeters to demonstrate the importance of newborn screening, scalable investment in early diagnostics and improved access to follow-up care for fragile babies. In September 2015, the BORN project was selected by the United Nations and the White House as one of 14 innovation projects to be highlighted during UN General Assembly as helping achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.[4][5] The BORN project was along among the first investments from the London-based Global Innovation Fund. More than 1,200 health workers and public health staff across 200 facilities have been trained in neonatal pulse oximetry screening through the BORN project which has expanded into India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Mongolia, Bolivia, Peru and Mexico. In 2017, the Newborn Foundation was among 30 partner organizations that officially launched the Every Breath Counts Coalition at UNICEF headquarters leading up to World Pneumonia Day in New York City. The Every Breath Counts coalition supports national governments to close child pneumonia gaps in countries with the largest numbers of babies and children under 5 at highest risk of death.
