No baby should start life struggling to survive. No parent expects to start their journey as parents in a newborn intensive care unit (NICU). For some families, serious complications send them on an unpredictable course that begins when their baby is born too soon, too small or too sick and needs special care. Here at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, we promise to provide the best possible care to these babies and their families.
Recently, Nemours unveiled a brand new, state-of-the-art NICU with single-baby rooms, bright natural light, and special spaces for families to seek respite while remaining close to their baby. We want every NICU family to have the space, comfort, and support they need for the days or months their baby is in our care. For this reason, we have recently embarked on the second phase of the NICU expansion and we need your help.
