Too Cute to Spook: HCA Houston Healthcare Conroe NICU Babies Dress Up for Halloween

CONROE, TX -- Halloween is getting a little more adorable at HCA Houston Healthcare Conroe. Nurses in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) helped their tiniest patients get into the spooky spirit by dressing them in festive Halloween costumes, bringing a little extra fun to their hospital stay. These little pumpkins may be too young for trick-or-treating, but that didn't stop the NICU team from making their first Halloween a memorable one for their families.

HCA Houston Healthcare Conroe is home to a Level II NICU, providing specialized care for newborns born greater than 28 weeks gestational age or newborns who need additional medical attention, including babies born prematurely or those requiring extra support as they grow stronger. This level of care helps families in Conroe and surrounding communities access specialized newborn care closer to home.

A Level II NICU helps meet important needs for the community by caring for many premature and ill newborns closer to home, reducing the need for families to travel outside Montgomery County for care when a higher level NICU is not required. For families, that can mean more time at the bedside, fewer disruptions and more support as their baby grows stronger.
