A trusted constant for families navigating complex care.

Because no family should have to navigate the journey alone.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

TRANSITION HOME

IN THE NICU

Coordinating complex care from day one, with one trusted point of contact

  • One trusted point of contact

  • Coordinate specialists and care teams

  • Guide parents through complex decisions

  • Remove barriers to getting home

Families leave the hospital with a coordinated plan, not a list of paperwork

  • Arrange home equipment and supplies

  • Connect families with community resources

  • Prepare caregivers for life at home

  • Ensure a safe, coordinated transition

OUTPATIENT SUPPORT

Support continues long after discharge, as medical needs evolve

  • Attend key appointments

  • Coordinate ongoing care

  • Simplify complex medical journeys

  • Connect families to needed resources

WHY WE EXIST

Most medically complex babies leave the NICU without a dedicated care coordinator. Families are left to navigate specialists, therapies, equipment, insurance, and community resources on their own.

Little Heroes League fills that gap so babies can get home sooner - and families never have to navigate the journey alone.

Better support.
Better experiences.
Better outcomes.

When families have one trusted coordinator, the entire journey changes.

OUR STORY

It started with one little girl.

In her first year of life, Livi spent more than 150 days in intensive care across four hospitalizations. She underwent multiple major surgeries, relied on a ventilator for weeks, and required countless therapies—all before her first birthday.

Her medical care saved her life.

Coordinating everything outside the hospital nearly overwhelmed her family.

Appointments. Equipment. Medications. Specialists. Insurance. Therapies. Community resources. Every day required another phone call, another form, another decision.

Livi is thriving today because her family made care coordination their full-time priority.

They founded Little Heroes League so future families wouldn't have to do it alone.

Be a BIG Hero to a Little Hero.

Your gifts make it possible for babies with the greatest medical needs to receive exceptional care coordination — and their best chance to thrive.
