This is such an important reminder for everyone who is struggling with grief today, and every day.

So proud to be a board member of NPA

September is NICU Awareness Month
💙💚💙💚
During this month we will be...
EDUCATING our community about racial disparities and inequities in our NICU communities
ADVOCATING for policies and practices that address the root causes of these disparities
INTEGRATING the voices of racial, social, and reproductive justice movements so that we can improve care and honor families.

TODAY we share the position statement from the National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN) on Racial Disparity in the NICU (June 2020)
"The National Association of Neonatal Nurses Board of Directors reviews the statistics concerning racially-related health disparities for premature infants and includes nine recommendations for how to endorse healthcare equality for all infants in the NICU regardless of race, parental economic or educational status, or geographic area."
