"Parents of premature children often are overwhelmed by the challenges before them," explained Ken Dey with St. Luke's. "The Hall of Hope was inspired by Tammy Allen, a St. Luke’s nurse practitioner, who sees the display as an opportunity to provide new hope for parents by showing them a future that may be possible for their baby."
According to Dey, the display was made possible by a $25,000 grant from the St. Luke’s Auxiliary and through in-kind donations from the community including three local photographers who donated their time and talent to take photos of the NICU graduates.
