Congratulations to Amy Powne, a pediatric surgery nurse practice manager with UC Davis Health, who was honored with the 2025 Lori J. Howell Excellence in Fetal Nursing Award at this year’s North American Fetal Therapy Network (NAFTNet) meeting.

In her role in the Fetal Care and Treatment Center, Amy guides families through the challenges of prenatal diagnosis, fetal intervention and planning for complex postnatal care for their children.

This international award is given to an individual who embodies the level of excellence in fetal nursing that Lori J. Howell brought to the field as recognized by their physician colleagues. Howell, who died last year, was a nationally known leader and mentor who defined the currently known role of fetal nurse coordinator. This award honors nursing colleagues in the field of fetal diagnosis and treatment.

Undergoing cancer treatment for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia caused 8-year-old Eddy Zapata to miss much of second and third grades. When doctors cleared him to return to school, he was anxious. Luckily he had some help that first day.

Certified child life specialist Marisa Salazar with UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center came to school to educate his classmates and answer their questions. It was part of UC Davis Health’s School Re-entry program, a three-year-old initiative offered by the child life and creative arts therapy department.
