Premature Babies

Premature Babies

Good Things Come in Small Packages: It's often a life and death struggle: premature babies so small they can fit in an adult's hand. Host Dr. Winnie King takes us into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to see those babies, and provides the information parents need to make it through the uncertainty and the anxiety.

Guests:

Gerard Masconi - Father of Preemie twins
Patricia Masconi - Mother of Preemie twins
Tracy Jackson - Mother of a Preemie
Helene Sola, RN - Nurse, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) 
Deborah Campbell, MD - Neonatologist, Director, Division of Neonatology, Children's Hospital at Montefiore; Professor of Clinical Pediatrics and Associate Professor OB-GYN and Women's Health, Albert Einstein College of Medicine
