Bookworms Since Birth

 

The NICU Take-Home Book Initiative with Dignity Health St Mary Medical Center provides every NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) family with bilingual books to take home, allowing them to continue the reading and bonding habits they started during their hospital stay. 

St. Mary Medical Center provides these tools, helping its tiniest patients grow and learn in the language most comfortable for their families.
