NICU heart award
We can never say thank you enough to the medical teams that work so tirelessly for their patients and families each day. But we start with a simple “thank you.”
To recognize these wonderful people, Project NICU is honoring them for their relentless courage, passion and dedication to improving outcomes for NICU babies and their families.
Their tireless dedication, compassion, and skill bring hope in the most challenging of times, and many become like family to the parents they serve.
The NICU Heart Award was created as a way for families to say “thank you” and to honor these extraordinary individuals. This recognition celebrates NICU doctors, nurses, and medical staff who go above and beyond—demonstrating relentless courage, passion, and commitment to improving outcomes for NICU babies and supporting families through their journey.
Do you have a NICU nurse, doctor, or medical professional who has made an unforgettable impact on your family’s story? The NICU Heart Award is your opportunity to recognize and celebrate them for the life-changing care they provide.
At Project NICU, we know the incredible difference NICU medical professionals make in the lives of babies and families.

NICU Parents Bill of Rights
The NICU Parent’s Bill of Rights is a list of ten essential rights that all NICU parents should expect during their child’s NICU stay. This collaborative project was developed to help address and break down barriers that often prevent NICU parents from bonding with their baby and playing an active role in their daily care. In order to care for a medically fragile infant after the NICU, parents must feel empowered, competent, and capable of being their baby’s advocate and caregiver. Therefore, they must be encouraged and supported throughout their baby’s NICU journey.
It is our hope that the NICU Parent’s Bill of Rights will help bring awareness to the best practices of Family-Centered Care, so families are better prepared for life after the NICU. We encourage you to print and share a copy of the NICU Parent’s Bill of Rights with your NICU.
