“Lindsay Spurgeon, thank you for all that NeoHERO Foundation has done for such a vulnerable population. The passion behind your education is inspiring.

Joshua Arrant, Assistant Chief, Dorchester County EMS:

“I am proud to have Lindsay Spurgeon as a speaker and sponsor at our conference this year. In the short time I have known her she has convinced me that she is truly one of us, and the mission of her organization, the NeoHERO Foundation, is something all first responders can get behind.”

Nurse.org, published about NeoHERO Foundation®:

Congresswoman Nancy Mace, speaking about NeoHERO Foundation®:

Patrick Dineen, Deputy Chief, Fairfield County EMS:

“Back in July, I was introduced to Lindsay Spurgeon and the NeoHERO Foundation. From our very first conversation, I knew this was something special. My goal was simple but ambitious: ensure that every FCEMS clinician received this training and earned their NRP certification. About six months later, NeoHERO helped turn that vision into reality.

What followed was nothing short of incredible. Our providers committed themselves to the didactic coursework over the past month, then came together for a comprehensive, prehospital-focused, hands-on training that was informative, challenging, and truly meaningful. Their dedication to learning and growth was on full display.

I also cannot say enough about Lindsay and the NeoHERO team. Traveling four consecutive days to ensure every single clinician was trained speaks volumes about their commitment and passion. That level of dedication is rare, and it did not go unnoticed. NeoHERO’s mission is only just beginning, and I am proud to continue partnering with them as that vision grows.

Neonatal care is an area where EMS providers simply do not get enough training, yet the need is undeniable. This program fills that gap in a powerful way. To any EMS leader or educator considering this training…do it! Without hesitation. It is absolutely worth it.”

Lauren Marshall, Lexington County EMS:

“Even more reasons for every service in SC to receive training from NeoHERO Foundation, Lindsay Spurgeon set out to accomplish something amazing and she is well on her way! Can’t wait to see what 2026 brings for first responders getting the access and training to take care of the world’s newest patients.”

Erin Kienzle, ABC4 WCIV:

“So you are out there, just saving lives.”
