A NICU Pediatrician’s Story: When Care Becomes Advocacy
I sit down with Dr. Jess Daigle — a board-certified NICU pediatrician, and mom — to talk about her journey from being a NICU mom to now advocating for families.
Every day, NICU doctors care for the tiniest, most vulnerable patients. But what often gets overlooked is the role they play in guiding families through uncertainty, fear, and hope.
Dr. Daigle shares how her own experiences as a mom shaped the way she communicates with families and why advocacy is at the heart of her work.
Tune in to hear what it’s really like to support families in the NICU, how personal experience changes professional care, and why advocacy is essential in neonatal and postpartum spaces.
