Join me in supporting Hoag’s NICU to help babies and families during their most critical times. -Sonia Mann-Lehl, Hoag patient
Sonia Mann-Lehl, baby Jeean Jayden Lehl, and Hoag's NICU team.
At 24 weeks, my water broke, and I drove myself to Hoag’s nearby hospital in Irvine, where I was then seamlessly transferred to Hoag Hospital Newport Beach, to receive the specialized care I needed.
I stayed there for weeks until a complication—a placenta abruption—put both my life and my baby's at risk. Born with underdeveloped lungs, my baby spent 10 weeks in Hoag’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where the dedicated team provided life-saving care.
Hoag’s compassionate support made all the difference. The team empowered me to advocate for my baby, guiding me through every step and helping me feel confident in my decisions.
I am proud to support the addition of a level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to Hoag's Sun Family Campus in Irvine, which is essential for families in our Irvine community who have experiences like mine in the future.
Support Hoag’s NICU and provide life-saving care for both babies and mothers.
