March of Dimes Event

The Providence Children's Museum was the location of the March of Dimes Annual NICU Family Reunion this week. Children who spent time in Women & Infants Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit were invited for an evening of play with some of their fellow NICU "graduates".


This year's March of Dimes Ambassador Family, Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Roberts, M.o.D. Director Betsy Akin, and Lucille Bush of CVS were in attendance.

Katelyn Hall and her family are traveling around the country this year to speak to March of Dimes supporters about the assistance M of D provided when Katelyn was born prematurely five years ago. Visit http://www.marchofdimes.com/ for more information about their support for research and education to reduce the incidence of premature births.

Children and their parents had a great time playing in the interactive exhibits.



And, when the evening was over, each child went home with a Mister Potato Head plush toy, compliments of Hasbro!
