This spring, our NICU Book Drive brought in 300+ books—helping families connect through reading, touch, and shared time together. Every story supports bonding and early development in the tiniest patients.

Baby Book Club sends these books home with families—creating memories that last far beyond the hospital stay.

Thank you for being part of something so meaningful.

Celebrating the many benefits of Kangaroo Care today and every day! 💚
Kangaroo care—skin-to-skin contact between a caregiver and baby—was first introduced in Colombia as a lifesaving alternative when incubators were limited. Today, it’s known for its powerful benefits, helping babies regulate their temperature, heart rate, and breathing while strengthening bonding and supporting healthy growth.
Simple, intentional connection can support a baby’s well-being in meaningful ways.

What would you tell your younger self? ✨🚀

We asked employees at Mayo Clinic Children's to share advice they wish they could give to their younger selves, paired with childhood photos that help capture those moments.

Sometimes, the words we need most are the ones we only learn with time. Even now, those messages still matter—and every child deserves to hear them.
