🧡🎃 Halloween came a little early in the SMH NICU — but these little ones are used to making an early entrance!

✨💙 In 1992, perinatologist Washington Hill, MD, joined SMH and developed the hospital’s Maternal-Fetal Medicine department — a vital program that continues to support high-risk mothers and babies throughout the region today.

Just a year later, Dr. Hill delivered one of the smallest babies in the nation to survive preterm birth. Caci Renee Burke weighed just 12.9 ounces — about the size of three sticks of butter — when she was born at SMH in 1993. After four months in the NICU, cared for by neonatologists and specially trained NICU nurses, Caci not only survived but thrived!

🙌 For more than three decades, Dr. Hill’s leadership and advocacy have advanced maternal-fetal care, and as an enduring community partner, we salute his continuing efforts to promote expert, compassionate care for all.

👶✨ Choosing a pediatrician before your baby is born might seem early — but it's one of the smartest steps you can take to prepare for your child’s health.

💬 “It’s difficult to overstate the importance of finding a pediatrician that you really trust and can really feel comfortable with,” says FPG Pediatrician Ronald D. Laracuente, MD. He recommends scheduling in-person meetings at the pediatrician’s office, to get a sense of both the people and the place. “This is your time to ask all of your questions,” he says. “You want a pediatrician who will help you meet your parenting goals.”

📚✨ We’re excited to share that our NICU at SMH-Sarasota, in partnership with First 1000 Days Suncoast, has launched a Mobile NICU Library!

This special initiative gives families access to books and literacy resources — supporting comfort, bonding and early language development while their babies receive NICU care.

Launched in honor of the National “Babies with Books Read-A-Thon” happening this week, the library encourages parents and caregivers to read aloud to their little ones — and every family is offered books to take home, so the love of reading can grow beyond hospital walls!💕
