Bring Little Heroes League to Your Hospital
We seamlessly plug in to your NICU operations, acting as an extension of the medical team and the family unit.
Our Care Coordinators develop an intensive understanding of every patient and family on their caseloads, building a high level of trust and partnership that drives efficiency in care delivery, improves communication and results in the best possible outcomes for all.
“Babies with high-level medical needs stand to benefit considerably from well-orchestrated care coordination at the very beginning of their lives.”
