Supermodel Niki Taylor visited the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital yesterday to talk with parents of newborns and support this month’s “March of Babies” events, the March Of Dimes signature fundraiser, which helps fund research to find the causes of premature birth and prevent other maternal and infant health problems.
Taylor visited with Briana and Matthew Tortoso, parents of JohnCarlo, a recent graduate of the NICU, who is featured in this year’s March for Babies marketing campaign, and Kari Mastro, VP of Nursing & Patient Care Services at NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital.
A tour was led by neonatologist and perinatologist Dr. Helen Towers of NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital.
