MUNSTER — When Nathan C. Splant arrived 15 weeks prematurely on Jan. 10, 2004 in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Community Hospital in Munster, he weighed less than 2 pounds and was 12 inches long. Today he is a healthy, happy 10-year old. Nathan’s parents – Phil and Kimberly Splant of St. John – have never forgotten the healthcare team that has made their dream of becoming a family a reality.

“If Nathan only realized what took place back then and how hard all these wonderful people worked on him,” said Nathan’s father Phil Splant. “We are glad to be able to give back to help!”

Their latest donation, a check for $2,500, will help Community Hospital nurses spread the message of safe sleep practices and also provide HALO SleepSacks™ to babies in the hospital’s NICU.
