Long Term NEC Outcomes Webinar Recording
A short time after recording this webinar, our presenter, Dr. Ira Adams-Chapman unexpectedly passed away. Dr. Adams-Chapman was a kind, compassionate advocate for infants and children, and devoted her career towards conducting research on the neurodevelopmental outcome of infants with complications of prematurity, such as necrotizing enterocolitis. She is survived by her two children. Donations in honor of Dr. Adams-Chapman can be made to: ChapmanFamilyFoundation.net Our thoughts are with Ira's family. Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating intestinal disease that primarily affects babies born prematurely or with a medical condition. NEC is often a life-altering diagnosis and infants who survive the disease often have life-long complications. Unfortunately, the field's understanding, research, and resources are inadequate for NEC survivors and their families. Much more is needed to understand how NEC affects children, families, and young adult NEC survivors, years after their original NEC diagnosis. As the NEC Society works to build a world without this devastating disease, we are committed to advancing the needs of NEC survivors and their families.
