NICU babies get in the spirit of the international games!
July 29, 2024 
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Babies in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) at HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital in Green Bay may be small, but they have the heart and spirit of true athletes.
With the international games just around the corner, they aren’t making it a secret who they’re rooting for! Recently, they donned red, white, and blue gear, sweat bands, medals and even training shoes to get into the spirit of the events.
“Every day, our NICU babies at HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital inspire us with their strength and resilience,” said James Burke, Manager, HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital NICU. “Every milestone they achieve is a victory worth celebrating!”
HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital also cheers on its team of NICU professionals who help get every baby off to the best possible start in life. Neonatologists, neonatal nurse practitioners, registered nurses, developmental therapists, lactation consultants, respiratory therapists, and social workers, provide 24/7 care for infants born prematurely, with low birth weights, congenital birth defects and unanticipated complications during delivery.
As the first, largest, and longest serving NICU in the Green Bay region, HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital has been a beacon of hope for the most vulnerable babies in the community for over 50 years.
