Together, Marla and Elizabeth discuss the realities NICU parents face, the critical gaps ICU Baby fills, the power of community volunteers, and the organization’s incredible growth from its grassroots beginnings to serving more than 500 NICU beds across Florida. Tune in to learn how ICU Baby is transforming care for families and enriching the support available to those facing a NICU journey.
