NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

Resources

The NICU Nana Program provides volunteers to add to the services provided by the NICU staff. Our Nana volunteers hold, nurture and cuddle newborns when the child's parents are not available. Nana volunteers are screened so we know they can take on these responsibilities and that they have the qualities that we are looking for in our volunteers: warmth, caring, and compassion.​
