Neonatal Nurses Week (September 13-19) provides an opportunity to celebrate the hard work and dedication of neonatal nurses. The contributions of these health care heroes to the tiniest patients make a difference that lasts a lifetime for neonates and their families.

Following the challenges for health care workers in 2020 related to the global pandemic, the World Health Organization extended the ‘Year of the Nurse’ celebration for a second year. Nurses all over the world continue working tirelessly to save the most fragile neonatal lives, work closely with patient families, and advocate for the neonatal nursing profession.

Pictured above (L-R) are NICU nurses in our Hospital: Shaelyn Leblanc, Ursula Cote, Trisha Smith, Michelle Lauzon, and Brianna Shields-Anderson.

Please join us in thanking our NICU nurses for their tremendous contributions to patient and family centred care.
