Some of the tiniest patients at BC Women’s NICU go on to do some pretty big things.

When a newborn is born too early or is critically ill, they come to the BC Women’s NICU, the only quaternary-level NICU in the province.

Years later, these little fighters are growing, learning, playing and simply being kids.

In this video, meet some former BC Women’s NICU patients and hear a little bit about who they’ve become.

Behind every NICU journey is a family, a team of dedicated health-care providers and a community of supporters helping give these babies the best possible start.

From tiny beginnings to big futures.

Become a monthly donor today to support the BC Women's NICU: https://bcwomensfoundation.org/donate-monthly
