💜 Today is World Prematurity Day 2025! 💜

This year’s theme is “Give preterm babies a strong start for a brighter future.” It’s a reminder that every preterm baby deserves the best care from the very beginning—because a strong start helps them grow, thrive, and reach their full potential.

As neonatal therapists, we see the impact of early support every day. Let’s take a moment to honor preterm babies, their families, and all the incredible caregivers who help them on their journey.

Here are some ways to show your support today:
✨ Raise Awareness: Share a story, a fact, or highlight the work of NICU teams.
💖 Donate or Fundraise: Support organizations that help premature infants and families.
💜 Wear Purple: Show your support with scrubs, ribbons, or lighting up your space.

Together, we can give preterm babies the strong start they deserve.

💙 Happy World Kindness Day! 💙

Today is a reminder of how small acts of kindness can make a big difference—whether it’s in the NICU, at work, or in our everyday lives. Every kind word, gesture, or supportive moment creates ripples that extend far beyond what we see.

We’d love to hear from you! What’s one kind thing a colleague or teammate did recently that brightened your day? Share your stories below!

Let’s keep the kindness going—today and every day. 🌟

Today we pause to honor and thank all who have served in the armed forces. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice make a lasting impact far beyond your years of service.

At NANT, we’re especially mindful of the veterans who are parents or caregivers of premature and medically complex infants. Your strength, resilience, and compassion continue to inspire us every day.

We are deeply grateful for you, your families, and your steadfast commitment to service.
