Rick Smith is the founder and president of Hope Story, a team of medical professionals and storytellers who help people tell their stories and share them with people that need to hear it the most. First, the organization helps medical professionals deliver hopefully stories to their patients. Second, they also help parents raising children with Down syndrome leverage their unique story to bring hope to parents whose child has received a Down syndrome diagnosis. Finally, Hope Story connects parents whose child has received a new Down syndrome diagnosis to parents who have a child with Down syndrome so that they can receive, encouragement, support, and hope.
