ST. CLOUD - St. Cloud Hospital will be decorated with pink and blue lights this week, in recognition of Prematurity Awareness week.

One in eight babies in the United States is born prematurely.  In 2010, 335 babies were cared for in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St. Cloud Hospital.

The Level III NICU cares for the tiniest and sickest of babies and currently has the only March of Dimes NICU Family Support Program in Minnesota.
