Support for Families Affected by Neonatal Encephalopathy.
The Andreas Foundation is committed to supporting families impacted by neonatal encephalopathy and infant loss.
Through education initiatives, community partnerships, and research advocacy, The Andreas Foundation works to increase awareness and understanding of neonatal encephalopathy while offering compassionate resources to affected families.
Our Commitment to Families Impacted by Neonatal Encephalopathy.
Neonatal encephalopathy is a serious neurological condition that can affect newborns during or shortly after birth.
For many families, the diagnosis comes suddenly, accompanied by fear, uncertainty, and overwhelming medical information.
The Andreas Foundation exists to change that experience.
Our work is rooted in lived experience and driven by a clear mission: to reduce isolation, increase knowledge, and foster lasting hope.
“Out of our deepest loss came a responsibility to create hope. This foundation is our promise to families facing neonatal encephalopathy, that they will be seen, supported and heard.”
— Ryan K. Brown, Jr., Founder
