They’ve grown into healthy children, each with their own unique story their families celebrate everyday. They all entered the world under uncertain circumstances, but thanks to a lot of love from those families and the care and compassion of Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), daily celebrations are well worth it.
That’s why Saint Joseph’s NICU hosted a reunion for it’s graduates – the hundreds of babies and their families who spent some time there for a wide variety of reasons. The reunion was held in the Upper Deck at Coveleski Stadium on Sunday, October 26. NICU graduates and their families made up the crowd of over 100 who showed up to exchange stories and hugs while getting their fill of ballpark food and Halloween snacks.
Saint Joseph doctors and staff were just as thrilled to be reunited with so many families and patients from the past, many of whom were dressed in Halloween costumes.
“To be able to see all the success stories that we’ve experienced is the most rewarding thing this job has,” said Dr. Monty Dobson, SJRMC’s NICU Director. “There are some very difficult stories that were told here and this is the good ending that we are so glad we can share with everybody. This is fantastic – an amazing celebration!”
