STAT, the Leading Health & Science News Outlet, Publishes GLOBAL Op-Ed

In a deeply personal essay, GLOBAL President & CEO Michelle Sie Whitten reflects on receiving a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis for her daughter, Sophia, and why families deserve current, accurate, evidence-based facts.

Michelle’s op-ed is in response to the social media influencers who recently shared their experience following a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis citing inaccurate facts.

First-in-kind hospitality survey published in Hotel Business reveals important employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The Jacquard, Hotel Clio, and The Clayton Hotel participated in GLOBAL’s adjunct training program over 20 weeks.

We are grateful to Alex and Ashley Singleton who are taking a stand and support GLOBAL in condemning the use of the R-word. There has been a dramatic increase in the use of the word on socials. The use is dehumanizing, dangerous, and cowardly.

In a heartfelt tribute, Michele Ritter honors her sister Lorraine — whose joyful spirit touched many — reflecting on cherished memories and GLOBAL’s vital support during their family’s challenging moments.

GLOBAL is grateful for a generous grant from the Albertsons Companies Foundation & Safeway Foundation to support patients at our Sie Center for Down Syndrome with grocery gift cards promoting healthy eating & nutrition.
