The Sharp Foundation recently hosted a reception for supporters of the Neonatal Research Institute (NRI) at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns. The NRI is one of the nation’s premiere institutes for improving the health of newborns through leading-edge treatments. The event, attended by Andrew Zenoff, Femme Ambrosio, Stephen Svajian, and Brett McClain, was held at the home of Sara and Todd Bennett, who credit the NRI for nothing less than saving their daughter, Reese’s life. The life-altering experience and the care they received became the Bennett’s inspiration to serve, both in helping other parents with ill children and through her work with the Sharp HealthCare Foundation.
