National Premmie Foundation ~ Supporting families of Premature babies
.gif)
With La Toriana being involved with the National Premmie Foundation since their beginning, and as this week we are also involved with 2 great businesses who are also supporting National Premmie Foundation (LittleONE baby and also the Kids Fashion Review HUNT), I thought I would tell you all about this great foundation.
Who are they?
6 of Australia’s prem support groups have come together to form a national organization that will unify, and act as a guiding body for existing prem support groups, help to create new ones, help to improve the treatments and outcomes available for premature infants, and represent the interests of these infants and their families in terms of health policies, funding and standards of care.
These founding groups include 2 of Australia’s longest running and most respected support groups,
- Preterm Infant’s Parents Association (PIPA) and
- Nepean Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Parent Support (NNICUPS).
The other founding groups include
- Loddon Mallee Kids (LMK),
- Lil Aussie Prems (LAP)
- Lifes Little Treasures (LLT) and
- Central Coast Premmie & Sick Newborn Support.
Although we have only joined forces in 2007, we have a combined total of 47 years experience in supporting families of premature and sick infants.
What are our aims?
To act as a parent body, guiding and assisting prem support groups by helping to:
- Raise the profile of all groups
- Raise money for family support and information, hospital equipment, education, and awareness.
- Attract members and volunteers
- Share ‘best practice’, information and resources
To be a central point of communication and publicity, providing information to families, hospitals, health professionals, relevant health authorities and the wider community.
Represent the interests of parents of prems in terms of hospital policy, Australia wide.
Raise the profile and awareness of the plight of NICU/SCU infants and their families, and issues surrounding their care and long term development. Health policy, funding and standards of care.
At La Toriana… we have a great range of premmie baby clothing online. Take a look here.
