Medical Advisory Board

Our positive power is in our people, bringing together families, clinicians, researchers and the global community.

Hope for HIE’s Medical Advisory Board is a multidisciplinary group that provides insight, scientific direction, and expertise to the Foundation from leading academic and medical institutions around the world. The members of the Medical Advisory Board are recognized experts in treating patients, leading research on HIE, and developing best practices in treating HIE and supporting families in their respective disciplines.

The Medical Advisory Board Educational Series is a dynamic Q&A format, live-launched event series bringing together the HIE community and experts from the advisory board and beyond on a variety of topics.

Led by Amy Cutler, OTR/L, Hope for HIE’s Professional Outreach Chair, this board meets regularly and works on a variety of initiatives to provide insight on patient and family educational materials to ensure accurate information is published, identify collaborations for the foundation, and working with foundation leadership to move the mission of Hope for HIE forward.
