Former patients of Piedmont Columbus Regional’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit can return for the hospital’s annual holiday gathering on Dec. 4. The event brings NICU graduates and their families together with staff who cared for them.
The celebration is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Piedmont Midtown Campus Conference Center. Santa and Mrs. Claus, NICU staff, hot chocolate and treats are planned. Activities include face painting, quilt-making and ornament-making, and each child who attends will receive a commemorative ornament.
Nancy Williams, Piedmont Columbus Regional’s director of volunteer services, said the gathering gives graduates a chance to reconnect with their former caregivers. She said graduates of any age may return, including those who come back year after year.
Williams said Piedmont has served families in the Chattahoochee Valley through its NICU for more than 40 years.
