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.

Our Team

We are a small, passionate group (most of whom are working moms). We have been working together for over a decade and are dedicated to customer service. We are eager to answer your product questions and help you with your order.

If your phone call goes into voice mail or if you send us an e-mail, we promise to reply within one business day (but a sick
child, early-release or school recital sometimes may delay us).

Customer Advocacy
Our customers are as precious as newborns. We all share the role of "customer advocate". That means our priority is the
satisfaction of you and your babies.
