How would you handle the situation shared by your fellow Taskforce member? Respond Here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

We expect parents to room-in prior to discharge, but no food is allowed in the NICU. Our home ventilator trial training is 24/7x10-14 days in a hospital room, resulting in many barriers to food access. How is your unit addressing food insecurity among NICU parents and families?

We need your insights around addressing the issue of food insecurity among parents/families with infants hospitalized in the NICU.
