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.

Without the support of our numerous sponsors and partners over the years we would not have been able to get to make the strides and achievements we have to date.
We are so grateful to all of our supporters; we couldn’t do this without you!
We also wish to acknowledge our sponsors, who by providing us with unrestricted educational grants have enabled us to accomplish so much in support of NICU babies and families.
