"I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as the president of the foundation," said Stewart. "I hope to continue the foundation’s focus on patients and families through programs that encourage early intervention and increase access to care."
Five others were also appointed to three-year terms on the foundation’s Board of Directors. They are Robert Gould, Ph.D., Richard Harding, M.D., R. Michael Pearce, M.D., Laurie Garduque, Ph.D., and Linda Sutton.
