Annamarie's daughter, Eve, was born with a critical congential heart defect (CCHD) that presented no symptoms. By chance, the doctor screened her while still in the hospital and it ended up saving her life. That experience inspired Annamarie to create the Newborn Foundation, which focused on making initial CCHD screening (pulse oximetry) a standard of care in the United States. Further, she developed a medical device company called Bloom Standard that offers ultra sound screening (the second step of confirming CCHD) in remote locations around the globe.
In this episode, Annamarie shares about the life-saving experience with Eve, how that inspired her to change public health policy, and her on-going passion for improving health care for children around the world.
