UNM Neonatology Developmental Care Announcements
The Developmental Care Program supporting the New Mexico Hospital NICU has a need for Newborn quilts and/or blankets. Our community has been faithful in providing our sick newborns with quilts/blankets that cover the isolets. This helps maintain a positive environment, low light and sound, for the infants. If you are interested in donating time or materials please contact our Dev. Care team at 505-272-3946.
