Aultman is welcoming parents of premature babies of all ages to meet monthly to support each other while their babies grow. Meetings are held from 7-8:30 p.m. in the NICU Family Lounge (fourth floor of the Aultman Birth Center). The 2007 schedule is as follows:

The meetings, which are free of charge, provide a forum for parents of babies, whether still in the hospital or those who have transitioned home, to connect with each other. The Preemie Parent Connection is led by Katie Barber, mother of former 26-week preemie Clara, with support from a committee of Aultman NICU nurses.
