ANN ARBOR, MI – Some of the littlest Wolverines and Spartans are repping maize and blue or green and white at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital.
The Ann Arbor pediatric hospital shared photos of babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) wearing tiny Michigan and Michigan State swag ahead of Saturday’s in-state rivalry game.
The NICU unit at C.S. Mott is ranked first in the state, as well as No. 31 in the nation, according to U.S. News and World Report. Some of the advanced technologies utilized there include fetal interventions for providing oxygen to hearts, treating hypothermia and a center for fetal diagnosis and treatment.
While the Wolverines and Spartans battle in East Lansing the night of Oct. 25, the NICU babies in Ann Arbor will be warm and cozy in their team’s gear.
