On the cover: Five year old Rebecca Redman was born at only 24-1/2 weeks and soon after admitted to Connecticut Children’s NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). The NICU, one of Connecticut Children’s premier programs, admits approximately 500 babies each year, offering intensive medical, surgical, and nursing care, comprehensive diagnostic capabilities, and state-of- the-art bedside electronic monitoring, respiratory support, and radiology services. Care kids deserve.

Each day across Connecticut, children and their families are faced with a wide range of medical illnesses and issues. Whether it’s setting a cast or treating cancer, Connecticut Children’s provides kids, from newborns to teenagers, the highly-specialized care they deserve. In fact, we are at the forefront of the latest pediatric research and surgical advances. Each day Connecticut Children’s doctors and medical staff work tirelessly to deliver the kind of medical care we expect for our kids and our communities. Care that makes kids better — care they deserve.
