Healthcare Professionals

about us

Our healthcare professionals include doctors, nurses, therapists, and rehabilitation specialists who work together to ensure every event and program is safe, inclusive, and medically supported. They not only provide care but also help educate families, share knowledge, and promote confidence in every child’s journey.

Beyond providing medical assistance, our team focuses on education, awareness, and empowerment for children and their families. They conduct workshops, share best practices in adaptive care, and offer guidance on managing spinal cord injuries and ventilator needs in daily life. Their passion and commitment make Buddy Reed Foundation a place where healing, learning, and celebration go hand in hand.

Hear from our experts

"Every child we meet teaches us something new about strength and resilience. Seeing them smile after therapy or connect with others is the most rewarding part of my work."

“Providing respiratory care is more than a medical responsibility — it’s a promise to help every child breathe easier, laugh louder, and live fully.”

“We don’t just help kids move — we help them move forward. Every step they take inspires us to do more, to make care more inclusive and joyful.”

“The true healing begins when children realize they are not defined by their injuries. Our mission is to help them rediscover confidence and joy in who they are.”
