On Saturday morning, 200 healthy toddlers, many who needed critical care at birth, will return with their families to Providence Holy Cross in Mission Hills for a reunion and Halloween celebration with crafts and games.
On Saturday, Oct. 24 from 9 a.m. to noon, families will come together with Providence Holy Cross to recognize the courage and commitment it takes for parents to stay strong while their infants struggle.
Bonds are formed among families and the NICU teams who work together to care for these tiny patients, now thriving thanks to advancements in neonatal care.
As part of a major hospital expansion, Providence Holy Cross Medical Center opened its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in October 2011, the first NICU serving the northern San Fernando Valley and the Santa Clarita Valley.
Families are urged to take part in their infants’ care, breast-feeding is encouraged and physicians, nurses and therapists provide care with excellence, compassion and respect.
Providence is dedicated to delivering healthy babies and has reduced the number of NICU patients by encouraging new mothers and physicians to wait a full 39 weeks before elective deliveries to ensure babies are fully developed.
