COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Children’s Hospital Colorado celebrated Colorado Springs neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) graduates and their families in John Venezia Park!
The celebration reunited families with the doctors, nurses, and the care team who supported them during their hard times in the unit.
Patients and families had the opportunity to celebrate their journey and resilience with arts and crafts stations, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo's ZOO Mobile, and special appearances from Colorado Springs Switchbacks mascot Ziggy and Rocky Mountain Vibes mascot Toasty.
“Our annual reunion is an amazing opportunity for both families and team members to reconnect after patients leave the NICU. Patient families and team members build incredible bonds during the weeks or even months spent in the NICU, and this event is such a special time to celebrate how far they have come.”
Children’s Hospital Colorado says that the annual event serves as a reminder of how far these families have come and how many connections they have made along the way.
