Local Hospitals Seeking Notes of Encouragement FOR NICU Families FROM NICU Graduates

Did you know that more than half a million US babies are admitted to neonatal intensive care units in any given year, according to the National Perinatal Association?

In honor of NICU Awareness Month, Ascension Saint Thomas Midtown and Rutherford hospitals are seeking notes of encouragement from Ascension Saint Thomas NICU graduates and their parents. Letters, cards, and drawings are warmly welcomed and will be laminated and hung for display in the NICU so that parents can draw strength from these success stories.

This special project is the brainchild of a longtime NICU RN. Please mail your words (or pictures!) of encouragement to:
