IU Health North NICU Team

Team members in the Riley Children’s Health at IU Health North Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) helped their infant patients celebrate Halloween in style this year.

The team dressed the babies up in costumes for their families to enjoy.

“We love being able to do this for our patients and their families,” says Ashley Brunic, manager of clinical operations for the NICU. “The team enjoys dressing the babies up and the parents are so excited to see the costumes."
