Maddie’s Place, a Spokane nonprofit and pediatric transitional care facility, recently secured $5.5M for operations and research.
A portion of these funds will support a contract with WSU Spokane to conduct research analyzing the prevalence of neonatal abstinence syndrome and infant maternal health outcomes associated with neonatal transitional nurseries in Washington.
The WSU research team is made up of five substance abuse experts with a focus on neonatal abstinence syndrome from the College of Nursing and the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine.
