Run with the Docs benefits Virtuas Perinatal Bereavement and Palliative Care Program, which provides support and care to families experiencing pregnancy or infant loss. The program helps to ensure that families who experience loss have access to a multidisciplinary range of services that provide comfort and support during a very difficult time. Thanks to the generous Run with the Docs participants, sponsors, and donors, the Perinatal Bereavement and Palliative Care Program:

. Provides education to our OB physicians and practitioners on compassionate communication when delivering bad news

. Offers a financial assistance program to help ease the burden of funeral or burial costs

. Purchases books on grief for parents and children

. Supports the purchases of cooling beds, which allow parents to spend precious time with their baby

. Presents our biennial Perinatal Bereavement and Palliative Care conference, which provides education to healthcare workers in the US and Canada

. Partners with Today Is A Good Day to provide support to our NICU families

. Assists families with the purchase of a plaque in memory of their little one in our Angel Garden

. Serves as a resource for all families in our entire region, whether they are patients at Virtua or another health care system
