NICU admission
Give families a footing in the first hours, when the volume of new language is at its highest.
For hospitals & institutions
Give families the language to understand their baby’s care.
NICU Jargon Rx is available to units, programs, health systems and nonprofit partners, in English and Spanish.
Family-centered care, in the one place it usually breaks down.
Every NICU is committed to communicating well with families. Almost every NICU is also short on the one thing good communication needs most: unhurried time at the bedside.
NICU Jargon Rx is a small, concrete way to close some of that distance: a physician-created educational tool your team can hand to a family and leave behind.

Reach
ENES English & Español
One resource that reaches more of your families.
NICU Jargon Rx cards are available in English and in Spanish: the same five categories, the same explanations, the same care taken with the language.
For units serving Spanish-speaking families, that means one educational resource rather than a resource plus a workaround.
