Start

After much research at the Universities of Wisconsin and Minnesota, Birgitta Rice realized that her research had led to outcomes that could help in the field of diabetes, podiatry and senior medicine.
That is when she turned to SCORE mentors for advice.

A SCORE mentor was able to help Birgitta set up a name for her company as well as helping with the launch. The result is WarmFeet, a thriving small business that helps provide healing and pain relieve.
