Children cared for in the unit in early 2019 were invited to attend.

Each former patient received a personalized birthday cake and other gifts.

“Whether a baby is here for a few days or for a few months, it’s not uncommon for families to form a special bond with their caregiving team,” AHN West Penn President Dr. Brian Johnson said. “Today’s milestone birthday celebration not only pays tribute to these amazing, resilient children but to the dedicated, highly skilled NICU clinical teams who watch over these babies so vigilantly.”
