Jennifer Nelson works at INTEGRIS Health’s corporate office as an executive assistant, but once a week, she spends her evening in a very different role at INTEGRIS Health Children’s in the Baptist Medical Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

As a cuddle care volunteer, Jennifer provides calm, safe and loving support to babies when their parents are unable to be there.

“I don’t know what led them to be here right now. I don’t know what’s going to happen after I leave,” Jennifer said. “I just know for these few hours I can be calm and safe and loving. To me, that’s something I have to offer and that’s what they need.”

For Nelson, cuddle care has become both a meaningful way to serve others and a source of immense joy.

Through the cuddle care program, volunteers like Jennifer help provide comfort and support to the hospital’s smallest patients while assisting the care teams who serve them.

It’s a preventable fact that men tend to have shorter life expectancies, a greater risk of cardiovascular disease and are less likely to seek care when sick.

“Many of the most serious health conditions affecting men can develop quietly, without obvious symptoms,” says Scott Ellner, D.O., INTEGRIS Health’s chief physician executive. “That’s why regular checkups, screenings and conversations with a primary care provider are so important. These visits help men understand which tests are right for them based on their age, family history and overall health, and they can play a critical role in preventing disease or catching it early when it is most treatable.”
