More than 3.7 million babies are delivered in America’s hospitals every year.* A small percentage of these babies are born premature or with an illness requiring specialized care.

Share our message on the importance of America’s NICUs. Help us keep hospitals strong, so the most vulnerable among us will always receive the care they need.
