We are thrilled to share that among the 22 global NICUs participating in our 2023 quality improvement work, we exceeded our goals by increasing the percentage of units with an active NICU-specific FCC Committee from 18% to 59%, and the percentage of NICUs with an active Family Partnership Council from 18% to 45% in just 12 months!
Units who had the most success consistently participated in small group benchmarking opportunities where they were encouraged to share their barriers to implementing FCC practices and brainstorm strategies for overcoming them, and attended our free educational webinars while encouraging their colleagues to do the same.

Our unit in Israel joined the FCC Taskforce a year and a half ago. We have attended general and small group sessions in which we have received mentoring from leading figures in the field of FCC. We have learned a lot! We now have a better understanding of the core elements of FCC and are learning about different and practical ways we can implement FCC in our unit. We could not have made this possible without the support of our mentors, and we are very grateful for them and for this amazing model of support.

I am so proud to be on this Taskforce and to see the widespread change that is happening in units. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to connect with colleagues who share my passion for FCC. I learn something new in every webinar!
