The Kangaroo-A-Thon has officially wrapped up!
Over the past few weeks, an incredible 49 Level 2 and Level 3 NICUs across Canada came together to promote skin-to-skin care, family presence, connection and healing for babies and families in the NICU.
We are currently tallying up the hours of skin-to-skin care to determine this year’s winners.
Join us as the winning NICUs will be announced LIVE on June 10!
The winning Level 2 and Level 3 hospitals will each receive:
-a $500 gift card toward a staff lunch
-a CPBF-hosted in-person event with refreshments
-Gift bags distributed to families, including Joey Band, a Pump In Style Pro Traditional pump that will be drawn, courtesy of Medela, and copies of Preemie Care.
Thank you to every hospital, healthcare professional and family who participated in this incredible event.
Skin-to-skin care is not just comforting. It is evidence-based care that supports bonding, regulation, breastfeeding, development and long-term outcomes for fragile babies and their parents.
