Kaiser Permanente Roseville Medical Center hosted a heartwarming reunion in Fall 2024, welcoming back 300 families whose babies had spent their early days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in 2020 and 2021.
This was the first NICU reunion since 2018, following a hiatus due to the pandemic. For many parents, their NICU experience was a challenging and emotional time, but the reunion offered a joyful opportunity to celebrate their children’s health and growth. Nurses, physicians, and staff who played a vital role in the babies’ early care were thrilled to reconnect with families. The event featured fun activities for the NICU graduates and their siblings, including games, face painting, bounce houses, and even a pumpkin patch in the medical center courtyard. The success of the event was made possible by over 100 dedicated volunteers, ensuring a memorable day of celebration and community for our littlest members.
