For the past seven years Nurses, Physicians, Physical Therapist and other support staff have come together to reunite with graduates and families of the NICU at Chester County Hospital. Team CCH NICU started seven years ago with four nurses and has grown to close to 200 members. The annual event is a wonderful opportunity for families to share their joy with members of our health care team. Many families have gone on to form their own individual March for Babies team, which makes the event even more enjoyable for all.
Team CCH NICU is ready to march!
This event has provided a platform for parents to gain the support they need from other families who have walked in their shoes. We have a very special team which consist of a preterm baby from 27 years ago, who has been a support to a family who delivered preterm twins 5 years ago. These two families come together each year and have developed an extraordinary relationship. It is so rewarding for staff to see how far these parents and children have come from those frightening moments in the NICU.
The March of Dimes provides teaching materials and resources for our families during their hospital stay as well as the snacks, entertainment, games and activities which makes this reunion possible.
Please join us this year at West Goshen Park April 30, 2017. Registration starts at 8:30 am and the March begins at 9:30 am.
