Although life is full of change, when your child’s health is concerned, we often find ourselves unprepared for the unexpected. During emergencies, there is no time for planning, no time to investigate, no time to find the best place with medical staff that can communicate with you and ensure health care excellence for your precious newborn in a crisis.

No one ever thinks his or her baby is going to need critical care. Community of Care, a nonprofit organization developed by parents, believes that every parent should have the necessary information to assist them during this time of crisis.

Working with medical experts in the NYU Division of Neonatology, our mission is to enhance the outcome of infants through thoughtful excellence in neonatal care, children’s health and advocacy and education.

The NYU Division of Neonatology is a leader in the field of Neonatology Critical or Intensive Care. We want to support and ensure excellence in life saving treatment for NYU’s youngest patients in a comprehensive and compassionate manner. We are there to help you navigate this difficult time to prevent, treat and eliminate neonatal disease.

As we look to the future of our children, we must build, invest and support our clinical care programs to ensure excellent quality of care and sustain patient outcomes that are among the best in the nation. That is why we developed "Community of Care," a support organization.

We will gladly accept any donations that you may feel you want to make to our organization. All donations are fully tax deductible and greatly appreciated.

About Community of Care

Community of Care is a support organization formed by parents whose children have been cared for by NYU Division of Neonatology at Tisch and Bellevue Hospitals Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

Community of Care is dedicated to working with healthcare professionals, both within the Tisch/Bellevue community and beyond, to support health care excellence for infants and their families.

Our vision for developmentally appropriate and sensitive, family-centered care is expressed through our support of the following goals:

• Provide assistance towards personal and material support for families both during and after their children are under Neonatal Intensive Care Unit’s care.
  
  
• Sponsor improvements in facilities, materials and programs that foster our vision of health care excellence in clinical care.
  
  
• Spur innovations in Medical Research.
  
  
• Create a community whereby “best” clinical practices and standards in developmentally appropriate and sensitive family-centered care, both within the Tisch/Bellevue community and beyond, are shared and used to educate the next generation of leaders in neonatal health.
