Hello,

Every mother and father remembers what it was like to first become a parent, whether it was yesterday or years ago. Bringing a child into the world is a huge milestone, and every parent has a story about labor or childbirth. In some cases, families have premature or other complex births that require around-the-clock care offered only by a hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit — or NICU — department.

The Coalition is asking its supporters to share their experiences with the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit or NICU department. This story collection is part of our #Here ForEverything campaign to show policymakers the importance of 24/7 hospital access.

Expecting parents and parents of infants need to know that 24/7 access to care will be there for them and their child. Share your story to strengthen access to care!

SHARE YOUR STORY

Hospital NICUs ensure that infants have the best care when brought into this world. Help us keep supporting 24/7 hospital care – share your story.

Thank you for adding your essential voice to our movement.
