Princess Leia taught the kids how to hula hoop! Next year I know to bring more hoops, the kids LOVED them. It was also great to get a few of the costumed characters to try hooping ;-) Thanks for being good sports about it :-D
Miracle Walk Information: Miracle Walk was created by a family in gratitude for the care their daughter received during a three month stay in the Saint Barnabas Medical Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. A team of dedicated parents have joined together to organize and participate in this annual walk-a-thon to raise financial support for the NICU. In the past six years, Miracle Walk has raised over $1.5 million to purchase advanced medical technology for the NICU.
Due to the success of Miracle Walk, the NICU at Saint Barnabas has acquired state-of-the-art equipment such as Giraffe incubators, high-tech ventilators, and a cutting-edge ultrasound system. These items have been purchased to ensure NICU babies receive outstanding care and experience as little discomfort as possible. Parents of babies treated at Saint Barnabas for prematurity, low birth weight, serious illness, and congenital disorders know the invaluable care they receive has provided for optimal outcomes. Click here for a list of equipment purchased for the NICU and made possible by Miracle Walk.
Friends and families sponsor a walker, make a donation, volunteer at the event, or walk any distance that is comfortable for them. Scenic Verona Park includes a stroller-friendly path to allow everyone in the family to get involved and make a difference.
NICU Information Every year, over 1,200 infants receive the highest quality care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Saint Barnabas Medical Center. Premature babies cared for at the Saint Barnabas NICU have an extremely high survival rate and a very low disability rate compared to the national average, even among the most fragile low birth weight infants. For the past three years, Saint Barnabas is proud to have the lowest chronic lung disease rate among over 500 NICUs in 27 countries throughout the world. Our Level III Regional Perinatal Center has achieved some of the highest infant survival rates among NICUs in New Jersey and across the nation.
