The Butterfly Suite is designed to create a home-like environment that brings as much peace and comfort to families after the death of their baby(ies). Located throughout the space, families will find notes to help guide and support them during their stay.

Creating a legacy for an infant whose life will be brief is important to many families.One way to create a lasting legacy is through the purposeful gift of organ and tissue donation. Organ and tissue donation can allow your child to impact the lives of others directly through transplant or indirectly through lifesaving research and medical advances after they have passed away.

Goal is to help families and doctors understand why a pregnancy loss occurred. They examine the placenta from the affected pregnancy to determine the most likely cause.
