Saint Joseph Health System Mishawaka Medical Center will host its annual Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) reunion from 11 am-2 pm on Saturday, Oct. 3.
Families with children who spent time in the Mishawka Medical Center NICU are invited to join staff for food, games and to reconnect. The reunion will be held in the Education Center, garden level and on the patio outside the cafe, weather permitting.
“We are privileged to serve people during the most significant moments of their lives,” said Keely Paston, administrative director, Maternal Child Services. “When these families are in our NICU, they become part of our family. It’s refreshing to see these precious children and their families grow together through the years.”
The Level III NICU located at Mishawaka Medical Center provides advanced services for babies who need extra care. The NICU has 12 private rooms where parents are welcome to stay with their baby 24 hours a day.
Expert care is provided around the clock by a team of professionals, including a neonatologist, a neonatal nurse practitioner and nurses specializing in the care of premature and sick newborns.
