My NICU Graduate's Journey
Little Ellie was born at 27 weeks weighing only 2 lbs. She was a strong preemie and came home after just 10 weeks in the NICU. Now - 14 years later - Ellie is looking toward high school and her future. She hopes to be a child life specialist to help children who are hospitalized. Ellie is an honors student as well as an avid dancer and tennis player.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Ellie has never met setbacks of any kind that hold her back. She is her own best advocate and fights for what she believes in. Ellie is kind and smart and is always sure to include everyone.
