Beyond the NICU: Supporting Development, Growth & Families After Early Beginnings

In this episode of Meaningful Medicine with Novant Health, Kari Mohrien, PA-C, joins us to shine a light on an essential, but often unfamiliar, resource for families who have spent time in the neonatal intensive care unit: Novant Health’s developmental-behavioral pediatric NICU follow-up clinic.Many babies who spend time in the NICU go on to do beautifully, but they may still benefit from specialized monitoring to support growth, development, and long-term well-being. Kari explains how the follow-up clinic bridges the transition from hospital to home, what families can expect during visits, and how early detection and intervention can make an enormous difference in a child’s future.This episode is a reassuring, compassionate look at how Novant Health partners with families to give every child the strongest possible start, not only at birth, but in the months and years that follow.  Learn more about Kari Mohrien, PA-C
