Real Awareness in the NICU and Through the Lifespan

Deborah Discenza. Neonatal Netw. 2018 Jul.

Abstract

Awareness of prematurity goes well beyond the birth and the NICU stay. It is a life span matter, one that the neonatal field needs to re-think in terms of helping better the outcomes in babies. Deb Discenza tells the all-too-real scenario of her daughter's fate and how that is driving her passion of advocating for preemies and their families to a whole new level.

Keywords: NICU; neonatal; neonatology; outcomes; preemie; premature baby.
