Introducing a new resource to share translated, adapted, evidence-based health information for preemie families.
We are thrilled to share our partnership with Our Kids Health and this innovative new platform "Preemies Hub" offering evidence-based information specifically designed for parents of 10 equity-deserving communities as they navigate the challenges of caring for a premature baby.
The content has been developed with a genuine respect for unique values, beliefs, and ways of communicating, keeping the material relatable and easy to understand.
Why Preemies Hub?
Caring for a premature baby can be overwhelming. Parents often face a daunting mix of emotions, uncertainty, and the challenge of sifting through misinformation. This situation is further compounded by:
-
Misconceptions surrounding premature birth

Lack of preparedness due to sudden or unexpected early delivery

Language barriers preventing access to reliable information
Preemies Hub is designed to address these challenges and empower parents with knowledge, support, and culturally responsive resources.
