Do you anticipate that your baby may be born early or with a medical condition which could result in a stay in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit)? Please join us for a tour of the NICU and NICU 101. You will learn about common medical issues and NICU equipment, how your baby will be cared for, what parents can do to care for their baby in the NICU and hospital policies. This class is offered in collaboration with our March of Dimes NICU Family Support Program.

This is a one on one class.

* Please contact March of Dimes NICU Family Support Coordinator: Rachel Crisco-Burkett for tour and class combination at rachel.criscoburkett@mainehealth.org
