How You Can Help
At-Home Program
Parents who experience intestinal failure require at-home total parenteral nutrition (TPN) through a catheter to supplement the limited foods they can tolerate. The TPN is delivered by a home health nurse, but the treatment requires significant laboratory monitoring and logistics support. A robust dietary program complements the TPN process through MCW's partnership with Froedtert Hospital. Among many complex logistics is the need for a case manager to monitor the treatment response, health, and at-home requirements of these patients.
Education and Training
Educating students, clinical residents, young scientists, and the public is paramount to advancing patient care involving gastrointestinal and liver diseases.
Research and Recruitment
We must continue to recruit top faculty to elevate our research and care and provide the necessary funds to sustain their work.
Seed Funding
A seed or pilot grant is often the first step in developing promising new treatments, attracting increased federal funding and ultimately identifying potential cures.
