Our Founders
In 2009 Eileen Gay, as Managing Partner, and Read
McCarty as co-founder, started SandBox Medical to
continue their passion for development of products for
premature babies and full-term newborns.

Read McCarty designed the Soothie^® and GumDrop^TM
Pacifiers. In 2013 Read discovered a new process that could
make an even safer and more comfortable pacifier so he
developed the JollyPop.

Prior to SandBox Medical, Read and Eileen founded
Hawaii Medical. Read also was the founder and CEO
of Children’s Medical Ventures. They dedicated those
companies to improving the practice of developmentally
supportive, family centered care in the NICU.

Sandbox Medical is now owned and operated by CHS USA Inc.
