When Nathan arrived 15 weeks prematurely on January 10, 2004, he weighed less than 2 pounds and was only 12-inches long. Now he is a healthy happy teenager.
“Our family couldn’t have done it without the dedication and compassion of all those involved with Nathan’s recovery at the NICU of Community Hospital,” explains Nathan’s mom, Kim Splant.
“This is our way of giving back so others may benefit from our story,” she says.
Annual donations from the Nathan C. Splant Foundation support an initiative of Community Hospital nurse educators to use HALO Sleeper Sacks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) where Nathan was born. The sleeper sack, which is sent home with baby, helps to educate new parents about the safest way for their infant to sleep – always placing babies on their back, in a naked crib, all by themselves.
