Meet baby Jack! 👋

Born at just 33 weeks, Jack spent 22 days in our NICU, facing early challenges with breathing, feeding and temperature regulation. And yet through every hurdle, Jack showed incredible strength. From coming off respiratory support to celebrating his first Halloween without a feeding tube, every milestone was a victory worth celebrating.

His mom, Jeanine, chose Stony Brook Children’s Hospital for delivery because of our NICU, trusting that even in the midst of fear and uncertainty, Jack would be in the best hands. That trust was met with compassionate care every step of the way, from answering late-night questions to celebrating every win, big and small, alongside Jack and his family.

One moment that will always stand out for Jack’s family: walking into Jack’s NICU pod and hearing Dr. Muz say there was a surprise… Jack was no longer on respiratory support!

Today, Jack is six months old and thriving - a true little fighter. 💪

Trauma survivors, families, caregivers and community members came together for Journey to Healing' - an event focused on support, connection, education and celebration. Attendees connected with Stony Brook Medicine’s trauma care team, EMS partners and fellow survivors, participated in the Trauma Survivors Network Race to Rebuild, and learned important safety practices through Stop the Bleed training, falls prevention and roadway safety education.

As Suffolk County’s only Level I Trauma Center for adults and children, Stony Brook University Hospital is proud to provide advanced trauma care and ongoing support services that help survivors and their families heal, recover and reconnect with their communities.
