In this episode, I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Dr. Lindsey Wimmer, founder and executive director of the Star Legacy Foundation—a non‑profit on a mission to reduce pregnancy loss and neonatal death while elevating the standard of care for grieving families. With more than 20 chapters nationwide, the Foundation not only promotes, supports, and conducts groundbreaking research into stillbirth and perinatal loss, but also curates the world’s largest pregnancy registry—our Pregnancy Research Project—making vital data available to researchers who share their passion for prevention. This Foundation was born out of Dr. Wimmers own loss when her son Garrett was born still at term in 2004.

Dr. Wimmer walks us through how the Star Legacy Foundation equips healthcare organizations and expectant families with patient‑education materials to identify and manage risk, hosts multi‑day Stillbirth Summits that unite researchers, clinicians, advocates, and bereaved families around the latest evidence in prevention and care, and offers compassionate support services and resources for those navigating loss. They advocate at the state and federal levels, where they fight for legislation that bolsters stillbirth prevention and enhances perinatal bereavement care, as well as their speaker programs that bring awareness and emerging research to academic institutions, professional conferences, and public forums. Tune in to learn how one organization is transforming loss into hope and driving real change for families everywhere.

Sign up for the Summit for Perinatal Excellence 2025.
