In this episode of In Their Words, we sit down with Tammy, Kayla, and Jasmee—three NICU nurses from UPMC Lititz and UPMC Harrisburg—who brought the Sweet Pea Project to life at UPMC in Central Pa. What started as a simple idea has blossomed into a program that celebrates every milestone for the tiniest patients, from colorful ribbons marking progress to graduation caps at discharge.
Through their compassion and creativity, these nurses have created moments of joy and encouragement for families during some of their most challenging days. Supported by the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation, the Sweet Pea is proof that even the smallest gestures can make the biggest difference.
Join us as we share the story of Sweet Pea—an inspiring example of how hope, love, and innovation thrive in the NICU.
