📚 Every Baby Deserves a Story to Grow With! 💕🍼
Reading is fundamental to a child’s development—and it’s never too early to start. Research and guidance from the March of Dimes note that reading to babies in the NICU can support bonding, early language development, and parent-child connection.
That’s why the Baton Rouge Sigma Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., in partnership with the March of Dimes, is proud to host a NICU Book Drive benefiting the babies and families of Woman's Hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
📖 Why Woman’s Hospital?
Woman’s Hospital is Louisiana’s largest single-hospital delivery service and home to the state’s largest NICU, with 84 licensed NICU beds. The hospital delivers approximately 8,000 babies each year and has welcomed more than 400,000 babies since opening in 1968.
