Never Forgotten: Programs to know about

Carolyn Ringo, left, coordinator of the Forget-Me-Not program at Sacred Heart Children's Hospital, and Sarah Bain, founder of the Spokane chapter of the MISS Foundation, are pioneering efforts in the Inland Northwest to help families who know that the babies they are expecting will not be born alive, or will be born with conditions incompatible with life.

If you know  a couple who has been told that their baby will be stillborn or live just a short time after birth, please let them know about two programs for families like them in the Inland Northwest.

Forget-Me-Not at Sacred Heart Children's Hospital walks alongside families in this journey from the moment they find out.

The MISS Foundation, Spokane chapter, offers support after parents leave the hospital.

Here's the link to my Sunday story.
