(Sep 26, 2008)
Over 400 neonatal patients who beat the odds in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit were invited to reunite with the medical staff that helped save their lives. Sponsored by The Neonatal Parents' Support Network, Alumni Day 2008 featured the "graduates" and their families who participated in a carnival style celebration with games and music.
