Greatest Team Spirit

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

"As a fairly new nurse, I am still awed by the work our unit does and the strength of the families who go through what they do in our unit. The March of Dimes March for Babies called my name... and I couldn't have asked for a louder response from my peers, co-workers, families, and friends." The NICU team walked 6 miles, raised $6000, and won 4 awards! Click to see the NICU Entry

Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

One of the primary activities we are excited about is our spirit of recycling! Our display is titled "Going Green with Envy for PICU"... in one of our photos, our night shift nurses find a creative way to show their PICU Pride!
