Families, caregivers and supporters recently came together to celebrate a decade of lifesaving care provided by the Kosair for Kids Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Baptist Health Hardin. Since opening in 2015, the unit has cared for thousands of newborns, offering advanced treatment close to home for families throughout central Kentucky.

The anniversary event was held in the Healing Garden beside the Baptist Health Hardin Medical Pavilion and included ice cream from Dewster’s, bubbles and sidewalk chalk for the children, and a moving photo display of NICU “graduates” who began life in the unit. Guests also participated in a diaper drive to support current NICU families, underscoring the community’s ongoing commitment to its youngest patients.

The NICU was first envisioned by the Hardin Memorial Foundation as its inaugural project in 2015. Its goal was to establish the region’s first Level II NICU, ensuring that fragile newborns could receive specialized care close to home. When Baptist Health acquired the hospital in 2020, the newly named Baptist Health Foundation Hardin continued to champion programs that benefit patients and families.

In September 2023, Kosair for Kids awarded a transformational $5 million gift to the health system foundation, the largest philanthropic gift it has ever received, funding equipment upgrades to further enhance care for critically ill infants. Through this gift, $1 million was designated for Baptist Health Hardin, and in recognition, the unit was renamed the Kosair for Kids NICU.
