NORTHWEST INDIANA - Recently, newborns at Franciscan Health Crown Point and Franciscan Health Dyer were part of an Easter-themed event. The Family Birth Centers and neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) collaborated with families to create special photographs of the newborns, who were dressed in "Freshley Hatched #NICU" onesies, bunny ears, tutus, and accompanied by festive props like baby chicks and Easter eggs.
The initiative was driven by Franciscan Health's understanding of the importance of celebrating milestones for families under their care. Staff members at the Family Birth Center and NICU aim to bring joy and a touch of normalcy to families during potentially challenging times.
Since the fall of 2022, Franciscan Health Crown Point has partnered with Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. This collaboration has introduced leading neonatologists from Lurie Children's, enhancing care for vulnerable infants in the 20-bed Level III NICU at Franciscan Health Crown Point.
