Last week, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Dignity Health-St. John’s Regional Medical Center (SJRMC) joined approximately 120 NICUs across the country, participating in the nationwide Babies with Books read-a-thon–a national competition that promotes the development of premature babies through reading.
Books for this competition were generously donated by local Girl Scout Adriana Ferraro in her efforts to make a difference in her community and earn the Girl Scouts Gold Award.
