South Shore Hospital announces Family Integrated Care program
Community Content
South Shore Hospital, part of South Shore Health, is spearheading a new program designed to empower the parents of babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in the care of their newborns.
The Family Integrated Care program seeks to ease the helplessness and anxiety felt by many parents during their babies’ NICU stay by helping them to become active participants in their babies’ care.
“For years, NICU parents would feel like spectators in the care of their little ones,” explained Zuzanna Kubricka, a neonatologist at South Shore Hospital. “FICare encourages parents to be more hands-on with their baby, teaching them the skills needed to help their baby thrive.”
