If zero starts was an option I would put it. My sister had her son at 25 weeks gestation in Port St. Lucie. She was given the option of him coming to Boca Raton NICU or Miami. I so wish she would have chosen Miami but at the moment she thought being closer (still an hour and a half away) was a better option. Upon getting out of the hospital and speaking to a social worker for the NICU she was told she basically needed to get a hotel on her own dime and good luck. What a nasty nasty way to treat a mother that has a baby in the NICU. The Ronald McDonald house closed down 4 months before this so there are zero resources. You all pride yourself on having a level 3 NICU but you give the families nothing. You have made a mother of a very sick baby feel as though she has no advocates. Why is there even a social worker for the NICU? To sit there and collect a check? Maybe if the person wants that they should go somewhere else because you are dealing with people under major stress. I am extremely disappointed in this hospital and you all should be ashamed of yourselves for letting that happen.
