Making exceptional care coordination possible for medically-complex babies and their families,
unlocking their ability to thrive.
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.
01 • IN THE NICU
One trusted point of contact from day one.
Our coordinators work inside the hospital alongside the care team, then stay with families long after they go home.
Free, continuous inpatient and outpatient support for the families who need it most.
03 • OUTPATIENT SUPPORT
Support that continues at home as medical needs evolve.
02 • TRANSITION HOME
A coordinated plan, not a list of paperwork

OUR STORY
It started with one little girl.
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.
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. We wouldn’t be here without Lurie and Little Heroes League.
