For Purple NICU Parents

We’re Caring for You Too, Not Just Your Baby

Whether your baby is already in a NICU or you're preparing for a high risk delivery, this is your space to understand what neonatal intensive care really looks like the people, the procedures, and the tender love behind every machine and monitor. In the NICU, a dedicated team of neonatologists, nurses, and specialists work around the clock to provide life saving support and compassionate care. Advanced equipment helps with breathing, feeding, and temperature control, but it's the gentle hands and caring hearts that truly make the difference. Every baby receives a personalized care plan, ensuring their unique medical needs are met with precision and warmth. Families are encouraged to stay involved from skin–to–skin bonding to daily updates because your presence is part of the healing. The NICU isn't just a place of treatment. It's a space of hope, resilience, and tiny miracles.

Your Role as a Parent in the NICU

In the NICU, it's easy for parents to feel overshadowed by the hum of machines, flashing monitors, and the steady pace of medical teams. No matter the wires or walls around you, you are still your baby's greatest source of comfort and strength. Your touch, your voice, your presence. These are medicines only you can give. You may not wear a white coat, but in your baby's story, you are irreplaceable.
