One of the ways we do this is by organizing a series of interviews with our customers, partners and other prominent experts on topics relating to neonatal health and nutrition for preterm babies.
In the dynamic landscape of neonatal care, precision and tailored nutrition play a pivotal role in ensuring the optimal growth and development of premature infants. MedStar Georgetown University Hospital NICU, a Level 4 facility with 36 beds in Washington DC, is renowned for its commitment to innovative approaches in neonatal care. In 2020 their NICU invested in Miris HMA® to further improve the nutritional care they provide to their patients. Miris interviewed registered dietitians Sejal Dave and Loredana Cunningham to hear how Miris HMA® has reshaped their approach to neonatal nutrition and elevated the standard of care for premature infants in their unit.

The team, led by Professor Dr. Christoph Fusch, guides you thorough their processes and the results they have seen after implementation of human milk analysis and target fortification. among other things, they talk about how the implementation of target fortification has led to a two week reduction in length of stay compared to comparable dioagnosis-reletade groups i Germany.
Stephanie Merlino Barr and Sharon Groh-Wargo have worked together for the past six years in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at MetroHealth Medical Center, in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. The hospital provides medical and surgical care for both adults and children which includes about 3000 deliveries per year and the care of both healthy and high-risk newborns. Stephanie and Sharon are passionate about lactation advocacy and translating human milk and fortification research into clinical practice. We interviewed Stephanie and Sharon to hear more about what challenges and changes they are experiencing in their facility.

Laura Serke (RD, CSPCC, LD, IBCLC) has worked as a dietitian and lactation consultant at the University of Louisville Hospital (USA) since 2011, offering her expertise in a Level III NICU. After beginning her work in the NICU, she realized how much she needed to learn about human milk. Her interest grew when her team included her in conducting research with the Miris Human Milk AnalyzerTM (Miris HMATM) and updating their human milk policies. Her facility currently uses the Miris HMATM for research and bedside use. We interviewed Laura to hear more about her journey.
