The birth of a premature infant is an extremely challenging and life-altering time. Preemies Today, a national preemies support network, is a non-profit organization located in Washington, DC. The organization provides a meaningful connection for preemies families both in the NICU and beyond by enabling them to meet others families whose lives have been affected by premature birth. Families share information, comfort one another, and gain a better understanding of preemie issues and local early intervention services.

We are a 501c3 non-profit organization and we are based out of the Washington DC metropolitan area.
