Awards
Allison Rose Advocacy Award
Dr. Allison Rose cared for infants as a neonatologist at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and helped to elevate the NEC Society’s work by engaging in many of our research, education, and advocacy efforts.
Her leadership within the NEC Society began in 2019 at the NEC Symposium in Ann Arbor, and she became increasingly involved in the NEC Society until her devastating cancer diagnosis and passing in 2024.
To carry on Allison’s light, the NEC Society has allocated funding for the Allison Rose Advocacy Award to support a clinician focused on NEC to attend the NEC Symposium.
