Today, the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH) is announcing the launch of its No Baby Unhugged program after being awarded the Huggies® No Baby Unhugged Hospital Grant of $25,000. JPCH is the seventh hospital to receive the No Baby Unhugged® grant in Canada, and is the first hospital in Saskatchewan to receive the grant since the inception of the program in 2015.
Through the No Baby Unhugged program, JPCH has invested in a new volunteer program to ensure all babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) receive much-needed physical human interaction, should circumstances prevent a parent from being at their side.
