📚🐛 Our NICU just wrapped up its 3rd Annual NICU Read-a-thon—and it couldn’t have been sweeter!

Tiny bookworms filled the unit, dressed in adorable hats made by Barry, a nine-year-old volunteer from Madhatter Knits, with love (and knitting needles!) by his side—and with the help of his amazing mom.

Thanks to the generosity of the Constanzo family, nearly 500 brand-new board books were donated through Warrior Family Books For NICU. And our friends at Project Sweet Peas - Southern New England made sure our babies had the cutest bookworm gear to celebrate.

We’re so proud to promote the joy of reading—even for our littlest warriors. 💕 Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!

Our NICU is celebrating the launch of Code Lavender, a program that gives healthcare staff members immediate support during stressful times and challenging situations.

Organizers worked over the past year to get this program up and running with the goal of creating a stronger culture of care.

“Everyone should know that when they come into work, if something should happen, it is not theirs alone to cope with,” said Allyson Andrade, RN.

“People have to feel that they are supported and seen when they go through hard times,” added Kathy Debartolomeis, RN.

The NICU team hopes to expand this program to other units over time. We thank them for leading this important step forward.
