What you can do in the NICU
What you can do in the NICU
Our mission is to support and educate Canadian families of premature babies every step of the way – before, during and after their NICU stays.
Our vision is to create a brighter future for all premature babies and those who care for them.
NICU families shouldn't have to do it alone.
We are a parent led, charitable organization providing education, support and advocacy for premature babies and their families.
Approximately 30,000 babies are born prematurely every year in Canada.
We continue to build on our momentum with peer support programs, resources for families and health care professionals, and research leading to improved outcomes and experiences for babies and families.
Our efforts are focused in these areas of greatest impact.

The CPBF head office is located on Treaty 13 territory, home to the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We note Treaty territory to recognize, reflect and actively participate in reconciliation with the Indigenous peoples on whose land we work and live.
