NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst hosted a “Born at Elmhurst” homecoming celebration last Thursday, inviting a wide range of elected officials, doctors, nurses and community members who were born in the hospital to attend a multigeneration summer BBQ-themed event.

The “Born at Elmhurst” homecoming took place on Thursday, June 26, and featured food, celebrations and a special neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) “graduation” in honor of former NICU patients who are now thriving toddlers, teens and adults.

Each guest received a commemorative “Born at Elmhurst” button as part of the celebrations, while the event featured activities for people of all ages, including a magic show, family dance classes, blood pressure screenings and a tribute wall where guests got a chance to write thank you messages to the hospitals. All guests also received a free BBQ meal and dessert.
