Med Center Health to host 15th annual NICU celebration

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Med Center Health is hosting its 15th Annual NICU Reunion and Open House, honoring the journey of NICU graduates and the healthcare heroes who supported them.

The event brings together NICU nurses, doctors, staff and families to celebrate the progress of children once in critical care.

NICU nurse Sarah Skaggs says the support extends beyond medical care, offering emotional guidance during a difficult time for new parents.

She emphasizes the importance of being more than just a nurse—often acting as a mother figure, friend and emotional support system. Many families rely on this unseen care during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

Skaggs notes that the uncertainty of childbirth can be overwhelming, but the NICU staff are there to help children and parents thrive. The reunion serves as a touching reminder of the vital role NICU teams play in early life. On Sept. 7, families will return to celebrate the thriving lives of their little ones and the caregivers who made it possible.
