EMBEDDED AT FIVE TOP-RANKED LEVEL IV NICUS
WHAT WE DO
Most medically-complex babies face a healthcare system that wasn't built for them.
Little Heroes League embeds dedicated nurses and social workers directly at the country's top-ranked NICUs — coordinating specialists, supporting families, and staying by their side from the day of admission through the first years at home.
Free, continuous inpatient and outpatient support for the families who need it most.

OUR STORY
Livi was born with multiple complex medical needs — and her family experienced firsthand the impossible task facing parents of medically-complex babies. That experience became Little Heroes League.
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.
“Little Heroes League is everything to me. I have a go-to person who totally knows us and can anticipate our needs. They think of questions I didn’t even know I had. They support me, advocate for me, and show me I can do this. We wouldn’t be here without Lurie and Little Heroes League.”
— Little Heroes League Parent
