INTERVIEWS SUNDAY: NICU Reunion Party At Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside (Photo) - 09/07/25

CLACKAMAS, Ore. (Sept. 7, 2025): Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside Medical Center will celebrate its annual NICU Reunion on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2025, outside the Labor & Delivery department. This heartwarming event is a celebration of strength, resilience, and the incredible journey of hundreds of families and children who received life-saving care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

 

Media are invited from 1:30-2:30 p.m. to see families, friends, and healthcare workers gathered to reconnect and celebrate the progress and growth of the remarkable graduates of the Sunnyside NICU over the past 11 years, making it a special occasion for the entire community.

 

NICU mom Meghan Davis and her son, Miles, age six, will join the celebration to reconnect with the nurses who she credits with saving her life, as well as her son's. In November of 2018, Meghan went to Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside for an ultrasound, but was quickly diagnosed with a rare pregnancy complication called "HELLP" Syndrome and needed to have an emergency C-section a month before her due date. Baby Miles spent two weeks in the NICU with breathing issues, while his mom Meghan also recovered in the hospital. "The experience was very traumatic, especially because I had to recover myself and couldn't spend as much time with my new baby. But even so, the NICU experience was great because of their special team of nurses. I bonded with them and knew Miles was in good hands. In fact, I still have a great relationship with the NICU nurses today and they inspired me to give back by joining the NICU advisory board."

 

Today, Miles is doing great, says his proud mom. "He's a healthy and very active young boy! He is quite intelligent as well! He loves putting together puzzles, building legos and playing the ukulele. You would never know he once weighed three pounds!"
