A Lifeline for Our Tiniest Fighters

Friends,

If you’re here, it’s likely because you’ve experienced the NICU journey firsthand or know someone who has. Being a NICU parent is an emotional rollercoaster—one of the hardest experiences a family can go through. In those moments of uncertainty, we rely on the incredible care teams—the doctors and nurses at University of Utah Health—who provide expert, compassionate care to our most fragile babies.

Today, as former NICU families, we want to share an urgent need—one that deeply affects the lives of newborns and their families in our community. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at University Hospital is a place of hope and healing, providing around-the-clock care to over 1,200 infants last year alone. As admissions continue to rise, so does the demand for specialized resources to support these tiny warriors.

However, our NICU is facing a critical challenge: much of our equipment needs to keep pace with the growing number of babies in need. Every infant who enters our NICU deserves the best possible start in life, but insufficient resources make this increasingly difficult.

How You Can Help

Your support can directly impact these babies and their families. By contributing to our NICU, you ensure that our care teams have the essential tools to provide life-saving care when it matters most.

Your donation will help fund:

  • Giraffe Isolette Beds
  • Feeding pumps
  • Specialized Staff Training
  • Family Resources
  • Parent chairs in NICU

Every dollar makes a difference. Please consider making a gift today—your generosity will help provide the best possible care for the tiniest members of our community. Together, we can ensure that every baby in our NICU has the strongest start in life.

Thank you for your support.
