Join host Bill Billotte for a powerful conversation with Lindsay Spurgeon, Founder and CEO of the NeoHERO Foundation®—a groundbreaking South Carolina-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2025, dedicated to improving neonatal health by empowering first responders with expert training, guidance, resources, and equipment. As a Board-Certified Neonatal Nurse Practitioner and neonatal-pediatric transport specialist, Lindsay opens up about the personal story that ignited this mission: transforming high-stakes, real-world encounters in neonatal care into a national effort to ensure every EMS team, firefighter, and first responder is equipped to save newborn lives in the field.
In this episode, Lindsay dives deep into the recent launch of Saving Babies LLC, her innovative for-profit venture aimed at creating, patenting, producing, and distributing specialized neonatal equipment designed specifically for prehospital use. With plans for a subsidiary benefit corporation, the company will drive sustainable impact—delivering critical tools to EMS professionals while channeling portions of proceeds, donations, and resources back to the NeoHERO Foundation to broaden access and save more lives.
You'll hear about:
- The unique challenges first responders face in neonatal emergencies and why standard training often falls short.
- How NeoHERO is the first (and only) organization in the U.S. delivering targeted neonatal resuscitation education and thermoregulation kits aligned with standards from bodies like the American Academy of Pediatrics.
- The entrepreneurial leap from nonprofit education to for-profit innovation, closing critical gaps in equipment availability during those vital first minutes of life.
- Lindsay's bold vision for national expansion, grant pursuits, and building a lasting legacy of "Helping Educate Responders On-scene" (NeoHERO) right here in the Lowcountry.
This is a must-listen for healthcare innovators, social entrepreneurs, first responders, parents, or anyone inspired by Lowcountry changemakers who prove one determined voice—and one powerful story—can spark life-saving change.
