Ruth began her advocacy work after her three month old son passed away from heart defects in 2011. Since his passing, she has helped to pass a bill, Corbin’s Bill, that requires pulse oximetry screening in the state of West Virginia. Ruth has also set up a non-profit, The Corbin Story Fund, in his honor to spread heart defect and pulse ox education and awareness.
Ruth’s biggest passion is to help save babies and with Corbin as her inspiration, nothing in impossible! Her work with newborn screening organizations such as SBTS has only boosted her inspiration, motivation, and passion. She hopes that one day there is no such thing as a missed diagnosis, and every newborn is given the best chance at living a healthy life as possible.
