Assistive Feeding Devices featuring Misti Staley

This episode of the DNS Podcast features Misti Staley, owner of Staley House, creator of the FreeArm, an innovative feeding holder designed to assist with the delivery of enteral nutrition.  Misti’s son Freeman Ellis Staley was born in 2015 with heart and lung complications. 3.5 months were spent in the Little Rock Arkansas Children’s Hospital NICU, home for 5 weeks, and then back in the PICU for another 5 months before Freeman sadly lost his battle with pulmonary hypertension at 10 months old. After Freeman’s passing, Misti devoted a full year of her time to Freeman Foundation, raising $250K to build a state-of-the-art, ADA accessible playground in downtown Helena, Arkansas. Misti continues to manage Freeman Foundation while also working as CEO of Staley House, creator of the FreeArm.  The FreeArm and Freeman Playground give Freeman’s short life larger meaning, and Misti is honored to continue to spread Freeman’s legacy of love through her work. This episode is hosted by Christina M. Rollins, MBA, MS, RDN, LDN, FAND, CNSC and was recorded on 10/17/23. Disclosures: Misti Staley is the owner of Staley House, creator of the FreeArm.
