Hospital & Health Care - Maple Grove, Minnesota, United States
We at Minnesota Neonatal Foundation, with help from our generous supporters, strive to make improvements to the NICU environment—creating a space of healing and comfort for families during an incredibly stressful time. Through our positive impact, we help families by focusing on the heart, mind, and spirit. Minnesota Neonatal Foundation was born out of two realizations: medical care is more than simply attending to physiological processes; healing can be helped or hindered by our physical and cultural environment. Patients who require hospitalization in a NICU are unique, as their hospitalization coincides with crucial periods of brain development.Family presence, consistent parental care giving, frequent skin-to-skin care, and positive coping skills have all been shown to improve long-term developmental outcomes.Our guiding principles* Re-vitalize spaces* Re-invigorate staff* Re-energize relationships
