The neonatal intensive care unit treats the tiniest, most vulnerable patients at Hennepin Healthcare.
"We would love to have parents here all the time with their babies and bonding with them and enjoying them. But, with COVID, too, having other things on the outside world happening, it's not always possible," explained Nicole Kunstleben, a NICU nurse.
That's why she and her fellow nurses are crafting a way for families to stay connected. They make, collect and distribute tiny fabric hearts that carry mom, dad, and baby scents.
