As the tiniest of patients receive care at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), the floor holds a distinct ambiance. Staff knows the crucial role they play in helping families navigate through the toughest of times.

"I’ve been here 32 years just in this NICU alone. I’m really passionate about meeting new families and helping babies and parents and families be successful with their transition to home from this crazy NICU experience that they have," said Brenda Lala-Black, an RMHC neonatal occupational therapist.
