NICUs are hospital units that care for babies who are born too early or have serious illnesses. While the babies are in the hospital, families and hospital staff often form a strong bond. The NICU Reunion brings the NICU "graduates," their families and the hospital staff together again to celebrate each child.

North Oaks Medical Center opened its NICU in 1991.
