Valley Health will host a ceremony on Monday, June 24, in the Winchester Medical Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to unveil new “where are they now” portraits of their tiniest patients.
The Neonatal Intensive Care unit at Winchester Medical Center is the region’s only level III NICU, able to care for premature babies of any gestational age or babies needing specialized care and treatment. The NICU is on the second floor of the North Tower on the WMC campus. The state-of-the-art facility is one of only a few NICUs in the tri-state area to have private patient rooms available for babies and families to heal, with 21 single rooms, 3 twin rooms and 1 triplet room for a total of 30 beds.
Valley Health Foundations, who provided financial support for the project, will provide remarks before portraits are unveiled, then NICU families will share what the portraits mean to them before closing remarks.
