Michael D. Litten commented he was "thrilled, because the NICU Leadership Forum fits perfectly with our mission and core belief, which is as Dr. Seuss's iconic character, Horton, said so succinctly and eloquently: 'a person's a person, no matter how small.'"
This year's forum was a first of its kind, as it was held virtually. Lori Gunther commented, "The current situation required calling on the wisdom of the age old proverb, necessity is the mother of invention."
