BRONX - Past patients at Montefiore’s Jack D. Weiler Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) gathered at a Spooktakular Costume Party for the first time since the pandemic and enjoyed food, face painting and time with the providers who cared for them. 

From babies who were recently discharged to older kids who graduated years ago, the children and their families spent time sharing memories with each other and providing hope to families whose babies are in the NICU now.

 

Approximately one of every 10 infants in the United States is born too early, some experience life-threatening complications and can need intensive treatment for many months in the NICU. 

Montefiore providers care for hundreds of babies each year at the Weiler Hospital NICU.
