Overview

Company Vision Giving babies a brighter future by unlocking the biological power of human milk. Company Mission We discover, develop, and deliver life-changing solutions for critically ill babies and other vulnerable patients. We achieve this through innovative human milk research and leadership in quality and safety. Foundation Overview The Prolacta Bioscience Foundation was created in 2019 to advance science and strengthen the communities in which Prolacta employees work and live. Our foundation provides financial and volunteer support to nonprofit partners working to promote the understanding of human health and development, empower parents and nurture our local communities. Promote the Understanding of Human Health and Development The Prolacta Bioscience Foundation proudly supports the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Breastfeeding, to help educate and deliver messaging to ensure that every baby is born into an environment that is supportive of breastfeeding. The Lectureship Grants aim to spread knowledge about the benefits of breastfeeding and an exclusive human milk diet for premature infants in the NICU. Empower Parents Mended Hearts, an organization dedicated to offering support and education to all heart patients and families affected by heart disease, will use funding from Prolacta Bioscience Foundation to create a Mended Little HeartGuide app. This app will provide valuable information and resources to new parents such as feeding and nutrition. In addition, it will offer educational content on transplants, growth, and development. The content will be available in both English and Spanish, allowing families to easily access the information everywhere they go, including the hospital, medical appointments and educational meetings. Nurture Our Communities The Prolacta Bioscience Foundation supports Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso, in collaboration with the El Paso Children’s Hospital, to establish an annual event to unite NICU physicians, nurses, hospital staff, and former NICU patients, known as "Tiny Warriors,” and their families. The event highlights the importance of the NICU and the impacts that high quality medical care and highly skilled staff can have on families. This event demonstrates the value of the NICU to the community and its role in shaping the future of health care for newborns in the El Paso region.
