The NEC Society is thrilled to team up with Inspire to launch an online support community for families impacted by necrotizing enterocolitis. The vision for NEC Society Connects is to provide impacted families with a sense of community throughout their journey.

Necrotizing enterocolitis is an incredibly complex and often devastating disease, leaving impacted families feeling isolated and alone. Families need a safe space to share experiences and find support. When families impacted by NEC join NEC Society Connects they will find support, compassion, and inspiration from this gracious community.

Families are encouraged to join the NEC Society Connects community at any point during their journey, including families who are:

• Concerned that their fragile infant is at risk of NEC
• Experiencing their baby’s diagnosis of NEC
• Have a child diagnosed with NEC
• Have lost a child to NEC
• Have a child who survived NEC
• Now an adult living with complications of NEC 

We welcome everyone to NEC Society Connects and look forward to building this community together. Please encourage families impacted by necrotizing enterocolitis to join by visiting: https://NECsociety.Inspire.com
