However, if we listen, we find families asking for complements to traditional care in many aspects of medicine. The consciousness that patients wanted around their deathbeds wasn't even on the radar screen of most hospitals when the hospice movement began. Today, a new sense of nurturant care is struggling to take shape in our NICUs. Complementary and alternative medical (CAM) therapies may be one adjunct to help soften the high-tech environment of an NICU by imbuing the nurturing elements one would expect to find around newborns.
