The Mott Family Centered Care Committee Philosophy Statement
This committee which was formed early this year includes a Holden NICU graduate
parent. The following Family Centered Care Philosophy Statement was one of the
first projects that the committee worked on and has recently completed after
many versions. This statement will be used throughout the Mott departments as a
guideline for evaluating our family centered care practices. More detailed
information will become available in November regarding this topic so check back
then for more information.
