Miracle Babies founder brings comfort to rehab

As an obstetrician specializing in high-risk pregnancies, Dr. Sean Daneshmand knows all about the fragile miracle of life. But it took him awhile to discover the magic of making life count. As far as he’s concerned, he is still making up for lost time.

“For me, my work was initially a job. I loved my patients, but I didn’t know what my purpose was,” said the 45-year-old doctor, who works at the San Diego Perinatal Center and Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and Newborns. “But seeing a woman who has had a baby with a major heart defect, and seeing how this family comes together to make sure this baby has a chance at a healthy life, that changed me. This dumb little man was suddenly blown away by people.”

The first product of Daneshmand’s epiphany was Miracle Babies. This nonprofit organization, which Daneshmand founded five years ago, gives families the emotional and financial support they need to deal with the demands of having a child in the neonatal intensive care unit. In 2010, CNN recognized Daneshmand and Miracle Babies by naming the doctor a CNN Hero.

Daneshmand’s daughter, Natalie (now 9½), was born six weeks early, so he had a pretty good idea about what those demands were. His next effort was aimed at helping women have the best pregnancies possible. So Miracle Babies partnered with the YMCA for “Healthy Women, Healthy Children,” a health and nutrition program for women who are likely to have at-risk pregnancies.

Daneshmand’s latest project is the Kiva Learning Center, a long-term residential drug- and alcohol-addiction treatment program run by San Diego’s McAlister Institute. The Kiva program is for women, with or without children, who are trying to kick their addictions and better their lives. On Nov. 23, Daneshmand will honor them with turkey and TLC.
