METHODIST MOMENTS “SWEETHEART” NICU PARENTS ENJOY A ROMANTIC VALENTINE’S DAY DINNER

AT METHODIST HOSPITAL | STONE OAK

For the 3rd year in a row, staff members within the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Food Nutrition Services (FNS) departments at Methodist Hospital | Stone Oak collaborated to host a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner for NICU parents. The evening allowed parents an opportunity to enjoy a scrumptious and relaxing meal, while still being close to their little lovebugs. Parents were escorted by NICU and FNS staff members to their private table for a four-course dinner. The tailor-made dinner included a charcuterie board appetizer, their choice of wedge or caprese salad, filet mignon and lobster, salmon, or chicken supreme. To top off the evening, they indulged their sweet cravings with either crème brulee or strawberry cheesecake for dessert. While enjoying dinner, each set of parents were able to adorn their little cuties by reminiscing about their keepsake gift, a framed photo of their baby’s footprints. These keepsake gifts were custom-made with love by the nurses within the NICU who care for each child.
