We’re honored to dedicate the Judie Burrows Education Institute in honor of Steve Burrows’ mother, who was a healthy, active 69-year-old when she went for routine hip surgery – but was plagued with countless medical errors that eventually stole her life. The Leapfrog Judie Burrows Education Institute is the educational arm of Leapfrog and allows us to expand our learnings to a wider audience than ever before and helps prevent tragedies like those that befell Judie’s family.
