Parenting Partnership

Dozens of families each year bring home infants who have started their lives in MultiCare Tacoma General’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).


Since 1998, the Mary Bridge Parenting Partnership has been working closely with these families for the first few years of the child’s life, providing families additional support to help them be successful in raising their child.

“What I got out of the program the most was the home visits,” said one mother whose son “graduated” from Parenting Partnership in 2007.
