Phoenix nonprofit that helps newborns scrambling after funding cuts
Hushabye Nursery, a Phoenix nonprofit that cares for substance-exposed newborns and helps parents get clean, is set to lose $500,000 in grants from federal funding cuts. The organization’s executive director, Tara Sundem, says it costs the charity a quarter of what it costs in the neonatal intensive care unit to treat the newborns. Two grants are being slashed as part of the Health and Human Services cuts. Angie Koehle reports.
