Marianne Bracht spent more than four decades as a neonatal nurse, supporting families and other medical professionals at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. Today, she’s a key volunteer with the Canadian Premature Babies Foundation, helping with the Family Ambassador program that aims to support NICU families. She joins the podcast to talk about the risks and realities of dealing with germs and illnesses in relation to infants, particularly preemies. With You in the NICU is a podcast for those that care for infants in a neonatal intensive care unit. The discussions are geared toward parents of preemies, but will resonate with anyone spending time beside a NICU isolette. With You in the NICU is a project of the Canadian Premature Babies Foundation (cpbf-fbpc.org/), with funding from presenting sponsor Medela and support from AbbVie and Prolacta. The podcast's host and producer is Jenna Morton (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennamortonpickleplanetmoncton/); technical producer is Tosh Taylor (https://www.toshstrash.com/).
