Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Montefiore Medical Center

New born baby all bundled up with her hands to her face, eyes closed, in the NICU.Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurses Laura Flynn and Elena Melfa began what came to be known as the Covered With Love Program nearly a decade ago when Melfa knitted a blanket for one of her tiny patients.

Since that time, Covered with Love has grown to includes nurses and volunteers on the NICU units at the Einstein and Wakefield Campuses. Currently, each infant admitted leaves with a handmade blanket for the family to keep.
