But the holiday magic doesn't end there—Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital in Murfreesboro also boasts a NICU dedicated to providing high-quality neonatal care. Recognizing the unexpected nature of neonatal needs, the hospital's doctors and nurses collaborate to offer specialized care, connecting newborns to either a Level II NICU at Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford or a Level III NICU at Ascension Saint Thomas Midtown, ensuring the best possible care for every precious life.

In the true spirit of the season, these nurses and healthcare professionals are not only delivering medical care but also spreading warmth, hope, and festive joy to families celebrating their little miracles during this special time of year. The community applauds and appreciates the dedication of these healthcare heroes who, with their small acts of kindness, create lasting memories for families in the NICU.
