This is a very special story to share. ❤️

Read how Luann’s son Drew, and his NICU journey, inspired her career path to become a NICU nurse, nurse leader and now improve NICU care while advocating for NICU families.

Also, Luann Jones was the NICU Director at Arkansas Children’s Hospital while baby Freeman, our inspiration behind the FreeArm, was in the NICU! The FreeArm is now used in the Arkansas Children’s NICU and sent home with Tubie families at discharge.

This is two full circle stories in one. You will not want to miss it!

Our founder Misti Staley, had the incredible opportunity to be a guest on Open Book with Billy Price of BILLY Footwear. They discussed Freeman Playground, an ADA accessible playground in Helena, AR built in memory of Freeman Ellis Staley, and the FreeArm, also inspired by sweet baby Freeman.

BILLY Footwear is a shoe company for all, with a big heart. For every purchase made at billyfootwear.com through the Freeman Foundation affiliation link, 15% of your purchase price is donated to Freeman Playground.

In addition, you can email FreeArm at info@freearmcare.com for a $5 coupon to use towards your Billy Footwear purchase! Thank you BILLY Footwear for all that you do!

We had a great time at the American Society of Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition Conference (ASPEN) last week! It was a blast to meet so many dietitian friends in person and give hugs to all of our amazing company partners. We loved seeing the FreeArm on so many booths. Who wants to lug an IV pole around? No one!  

Attending Cardinal Health's ASPEN24 Nourishing Connections breakout session last week with dietitians Cynthia Reddick and Lina Breik was a breath of fresh air. Lina asked the audience of manufacturers, clinicians, and researchers "If you could innovate any part of the tube feeding world what would it be?"

This word cloud validated that the voice of Tubie families and clinician advocates are getting louder and louder. It was amazing to hear all of the buzz around blenderized diets and products that make tube feeding at home and on-the-go easier.

Tube feeding at home is hard. Keep requesting the FreeArm and other needed products from your patient's DME. Keep advocating for new and innovative products to be 100% covered by insurance. Your voice matters.  

And of course we loved it when Lina casually mentioned "a funky FreeArm!"

The FreeArm with Peg for the GE Giraffe Omni Bed is here!

The clamp and peg are interchangeable, allowing the FreeArm to go from incubator to chair to open crib and home as an integral part of a tube fed patients continuum of care throughout their NICU stay and beyond.

The new FreeArm with Peg can be ordered through direct PO to info@freearmcare.com. Please reach out for ordering information.

We are also developing Draeger and Atom pegs as well. These should be completed later this year.

We are thankful that the FreeArm has reached so many hospitals, DMES, HMES and clinics. Check out our Clinical Testimonial Video to hear how the FreeArm has impacted these professionals and the families they work with!
