ICU Baby Program

AUGUST 2020:  UNFORTUNATELY, THIS PROGRAM IS INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED DUE TO COVID-19

 

ICU Baby is a program designed to assist parents/primary care givers with transportation assistance to facilitate visits while their infant remains in the NICU. At a trying time for participating families, the program aims to remove a simple burden and allow families to focus on visits, bonding, and promotion of breast feeding.

Who is eligible

Parents/primary care givers with a baby in a participating NICU in need of transportation assistance.

How to enroll

A hospital social worker at a participating location must refer a baby’s family to Travelers Aid using a provided referral form. Anticipated visitation schedule must be designated and the referral must be signed and authorized by hospital staff. An intake appointment must be scheduled with Travelers Aid (412)281-0751. Subsequent weeks involve completion and presentation of a stamped Trip Log to verify attendance.

Duration and type of assistance offered

Transportation can be issued for a maximum of 4 weeks for parents/primary care givers. Assistance is provided in the form of bus tickets and gasoline debit cards. Gasoline cards are limited to one per family and are capped at a maximum rate. Bus tickets can be arranged for up to two parents/care givers per family.
