Chloe has nominated Jane from Wexham Park Hospital for our NICU Superhero Award!

Chloe was so grateful to Jane for her care during her son, Luca's, NICU stay.

"Jane was so kind, caring and understanding to our worries. She really helped me with breastfeeding and made an anxious time much more relaxed.

We often think about her and the rest of the team. All the nurses were incredible and we can't thank Wexham enough!

Luca is the happiest little boy and doesn't stop smiling! He also weighs a tonne."

Congratulations, Jane!
