Our NICU team has achieved an incredible milestone by winning third place internationally in this year's Babies with Books read-a-thon!

Led by passionate nurse Barbara Gillespie, we're bringing moments of learning and love to our tiniest patients and their families. Reading isn't just a fun activity—it's boosting brain growth and easing NICU stresses for both parents and newborns.

Nicknamed the PPMC Baby Bugs, the NICU team has continued the tradition of providing learning moments to newborns and parents through books. "The read-a-thon helps parents bond with their baby, while relieving stress. It also starts them on a nice routine that they can continue when they go home," Barbara Gillespie says.

NICU nurse manager Kristen Chapin helped secure additional funding for this program. Thanks to a generous $2,000 grant, we've created a diverse library of children's books, providing two books to every parent to kickstart their home reading journey. This year, each family received "Giraffes Can't Dance" and "Mother Goose" nursery rhymes to enjoy with their little ones.

A special shoutout to all our wonderful caregivers who are building traditions and strengthening bonds within our community.
