Intensive Care Nursery

We have two exciting groups in the Intensive Care Nursery (ICN)! Mariposa Music Group, a parent and me music class, is off and running! This class provides the opportunity for parents in the ICN to experience the joys of a parent and me class without ever having to leave the unit. Our newest group is for our wonderful dads in ICN. Infants’ dads come together and learn a new skill...how to play the ukulele. This gives them a chance to socialize and meet other dads in a fun and supportive environment. After a couple sessions, they are able to impress family and friends AND play delicate lullabies for their babies. We are currently learning songs from The Eagles, Train, Hall & Oates and per the request of the dads, some children’s songs as well to play for their babies. We are masters at In the Jungle and Old McDonald :). We not only get dads of patients, but also male medical staff. Learning something new is always more fun when there’s a group of people to share the experience with.
