What a beautiful day to celebrate our NICU graduates! We hosted close to 30 families at our annual NICU reunion. From face painting and balloon animals to tours of our Flight for Life helicopter and ambulance, it was a day filled with joy. The best part was seeing our former "tiny patients" growing into healthy, happy kids.

“The reunion is a place to meet other families who have had similar experiences and fellowship with other parents. It’s a special time for our NICU care teams to see how our patients are growing!” said Dr. Vickie Bailey. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special tradition.
