Porter Regional Hospital and American Heart Association Team Up for Little Hats, Big Hearts in 2016

In recognition of American Heart Month, Porter Regional Hospital partnered with the American Heart Association (AHA) to present newborns in its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with little red hats throughout the month of February.

The program, Little Hats, Big Hearts, is in its inaugural year in Northwest Indiana and is part of a nationwide campaign to help raise awareness of heart disease and congenital heart defects, the most common type of birth defect in the country. Volunteers donated hundreds of handmade knitted or crocheted newborn hats for the cause.

Porter Health Care System and the AHA recently announced a multi-year partnership to raise awareness and funds for heart health initiatives in Northwest Indiana.

Porter Health Care System has two hospital campuses and seven outpatient facilities serving Porter, Lake, LaPorte, Starke, Newton, Marshall and Jasper counties. With more than 350 physicians representing 50 medical specialties, Porter Health Care System is committed to medical excellence and personalized, patient-centered care. Porter is directly or indirectly owned by a partnership that proudly includes physician owners, including certain members of the hospital’s medical staff.
