🎃 Halloween is just one week away! With Trunk-or-Treats and spooky fun around the corner, here are some important safety tips for a fun and safe celebration:

🍬 Candy safety: Inspect all treats before enjoying. Look for any signs of tampering, and be cautious with homemade treats. For those with food allergies, check for allergen labels and consider carrying allergy-friendly snacks. It’s also a good idea to talk to your children about the dangers of accepting treats from strangers, including the potential for harmful substances.

🚦 Street smarts: Stick to well-lit areas, walk in groups, and never enter a stranger's home.
🐾 Animal awareness: Be mindful of pets that might be uncomfortable with costumes or crowds.
💳 ID safety: Bring an ID card in case of emergencies.
🍂 Fall weather: Dress in layers to stay cozy on those chilly nights!

Let’s keep Halloween fun, safe, and inclusive for all! 👻

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our Neonatal Intensive Care Reunion at Trinity Health Hospital! 💚

Last week, the Prairie Rose Conference Center was filled with joy, laughter and meaningful memories as we celebrated 50 years of compassionate care, resilience and the incredible journeys of our NICU alumni and their families.

Seeing former patients, now thriving children, teens, and adults, alongside the families and caregivers who supported them was truly inspiring. Your stories and presence reminded us of the impact of every small step and every life touched.

To all the families, NICU graduates and the dedicated staff, both past and present, thank you for making this milestone so special. Here's to 50 years of Making Miracles Happen, and to many more.
