Meagan Short, FOUNDER
Meagan became a leader in both the intestinal malrotation and short bowel syndrome communities after navigating her son Camden's complications from intestinal malrotation and volvulus. Camden began vomiting 12 hours after his birth, and was life-flighted to a nearby hospital where he underwent multiple surgeries over the course of three days. He was left with 55 cm of small bowel and no ileocecal valve. Camden has participated in the experimental drug protocol for Omegaven at Boston Children’s Hospital. Meagan has worked in advocacy roles for the rare disease and nutrition support communities, including TPN and Tube Feeding, and offers a personal 1-to-1 approach to help educate families navigating complex medical and gastrointestinal complications. Meagan is a MedGift ambassador, sits on the Boston Children's Hospital's family advisory board and is a clinically certified speech-language pathologist.
