We are pleased to announce that Dr. Stephanie Newbold, Director of the Hugo Wall School of Public Affairs, has been appointed to the Program Committee at Heartspring. Located in Wichita, Heartspring is a dedicated therapeutic school and pediatric clinic that provides interdisciplinary therapies that help children with neurodevelopmental differences realize their full potential in communication, social interactions, mobility, and daily living. Heartspring also partners with WSU’s College of Health Professions to provide physical therapy and audiology services.

The newly formed Program Committee at Heartspring is tasked with ensuring that the organization’s programs and services effectively align with its mission and strategic priorities. Committee members will provide valuable guidance on program quality, innovation, outcomes, and community impact, ensuring that Heartspring continues to deliver exceptional care, education, and clinical excellence.

Heartspring offers an engaging, therapeutic environment where children gain confidence to learn and build functional skills. From a wheelchair-accessible treehouse and therapy playground to a fully equipped physical therapy gym and audiology suites, children and families have access to the latest evidence-based resources and care.

Dr. Newbold's selection to the committee demonstrates the school's commitment to community service and further strengthens its ties within the local nonprofit sector.
