September 30 is NICU Awareness Day. Our BY 2025 Expanded database reminds us that every NICU journey is about more than prematurity or low birth weight. Behind every admission is an infant fighting to grow stronger, a family navigating uncertainty, and a care team providing extraordinary support.

Vermont Oxford Network @vtoxfordnetwork.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Our newest Grand Rounds is available now on our website. Dr. Soll, Dr. Ehret, and Dr. Zupancic discussed with Dr. Guthrie how SALSA can be integrated and rapidly implemented in high-resource NICUs and highlighted practical insights and the tools needed to implement SALSA. bit.ly/4mfxRTt #neosky
