Sinai’s Small Patients Celebrated at the Hospital’s Big Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) Reunion

Oh Baby!

It was a day filled with laughter, hugs and “remember whens” as former patients of the Jennifer Gandel Kachura Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and their families got together to celebrate with Sinai Hospital’s NICU nurses, doctors, caregivers and other families at a special reunion.

More than 200 families stopped by to catch up with the women and men who made their first weeks of life so extraordinary. Many families come back year after year so everyone can watch their children grow up.

There were lots of balloons, refreshments, balloons, face painters, balloons and coloring books and, of course, balloons!

The Jennifer Gandel Kachura Neonatal Intensive Care Unit works with premature and critically ill newborns and is even equipped to perform surgical services if needed. The staff also provides extensive emotional support and educates families about providing ongoing care at home. Newborns can spend a few days or several months in the NICU after they are born.

Sinai Hospital is part of LifeBridge Health, one of the largest, most comprehensive providers of health services in Maryland. LifeBridge Health also includes Northwest Hospital, Carroll Hospital, Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital, and related subsidiaries and affiliates.
