A letter from our founders

Dear Families,

Welcome to NEOwell. We’re so glad you’re here.

As neonatal healthcare professionals and parents ourselves, we understand the unique challenges that come with bringing a baby home after a NICU stay—or simply navigating the early days of infancy. NEOwell was born from a deep desire to bridge the gap between hospital and home, offering compassionate, expert support that meets families where they are.

Our mission is simple: to empower caregivers with the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to thrive. Whether it’s through in-home infant CPR classes, pediatric therapy, feeding support, or virtual mental health care, our team is here to walk alongside you with warmth, clinical excellence, and genuine care.

We believe healing happens best in familiar spaces, and that every family deserves access to personalized, trustworthy guidance. Thank you for considering NEOwell as part of your journey—we’re honored to support you.

With gratitude,

Melissa & Margie
