Championing a World Without NEC

“Becoming a Champion was one of the best decisions we’ve made – not only are we supporting critical research and advocacy, but we’ve also formed valuable connections with healthcare providers and industry partners who share our commitment to improving NICU outcomes.
The NEC Society offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a vital cause while connecting with key stakeholders in the NICU community. It’s truly a win-win partnership.”
Berkley Luck, PhD, Founder and COO Milkify, 2025 NEC Society Champion
Commitment to Collaboration
The NEC Society collaborates with diverse partners, including academic institutions, clinicians, scientists, industry leaders, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit companies, who share our values and dedication to building a world without NEC. We welcome collaboration with any person, group, company, or organization with aligned values and mission in an unbiased and transparent manner to advance our work to prevent necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and improve outcomes for infants and families in the NICU.
Partnerships across sectors are essential to accelerating progress, advancing research, and fostering innovation. As we engage with industry, for-profit companies, and others, we maintain clear policies that protect the NEC Society’s objectivity, integrity, and commitment to our community. Working collaboratively is how we accelerate NEC research, education, and advocacy on behalf of infants and families for a world without necrotizing enterocolitis.
