OUR STORY
Mallory Baker, Au.D., CCC-A, Founder and Director of the Washington CMV Project
As a pediatric audiologist in Seattle, Washington, Dr. Mallory Baker saw the impact of congenital cytomegalovirus on her patients and their families. Throughout her career, she heard families ask the same question over and over… “Why wasn’t I told about CMV?” In February 2020, Dr. Baker founded the Washington CMV Project as an organization dedicated to providing information to families and making a difference in the community.
Through this advocacy work, she connected with parents and advocates within Washington State and across the country. The Washington CMV Project joins many other state, federal, and international organizations in meetings and collaborations to focus on increasing CMV awareness and making a difference across communities and the globe.
