Join us in raising funds in support of family program initiatives benefiting families in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at The Children's Hospital at Saint Peter's University Hospital.
Whether providing NICU parents with a journal or a new toy for a NICU sibling; offering resources such as NICView cameras for families to connect and see their babies; or celebrating holidays and special milestones; our NICU provides a family-based philosophy of care.
Join us in raising funds to support family program initiatives such as these. Every dollar raised will make a difference in the journey of our NICU families.
New Jersey's first designated Regional Perinatal Center, the NICU is a 54 bassinet, Level III unit that cares for more than 800 newborns annually. A baby's length of stay ranges from 1 to over 200 days, but no matter the number of days in the unit, the impact is lasting.
My son spent two months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at The Children's Hospital at Saint Peter's University Hospital. I cannot thank Dr. Hiatt and my son's wonderful nurses enough for the incredible care he received. I will forever be grateful, as our little guy is a healthy, happy, thriving, four-year-old with the biggest smile on his face. Thank you to our NICU family! - Jamie H.
