What is NPN Hill Day?
NPN Hill Day brings NICU and bereaved parent leaders, allies, and advocates from across the country to Capitol Hill to speak directly with congressional offices on behalf of families who need us most.
This year, we're advocating for:
- House Resolution 236 – NICU Baby's Bill of Rights
- Leave policies for NICU families
- Stillbirth research funding
- Donor human milk safety
Who should attend?
Anyone who cares about improving outcomes for NICU families — NPN members and non-members alike, including staff, volunteers, ambassadors, peer mentors, and community advocates. Share this widely.
Why it matters:
There is nothing more powerful than parents, advocates, and supporters showing up together. When lived experience meets collective action, we drive real change.
How much does it cost?

Where does Hill Day take place?
We've partnered with Yotel Washington, D.C. as our host hotel, with a discounted guest room block available for attendees (booking link provided after registration, $219/ni + tax & fees).
The hotel will host our Welcome Reception & State Delegation Meet-Up (June 10) and Debrief & Farewell Reception (June 11). No meals are included beyond hors d'oeuvres at the receptions.
On the morning of June 11, we'll gather at a location near the Capitol for our opening program featuring guest speakers from Congress, an advocacy refresher, and bill briefings before heading into meetings in the House and Senate office buildings.
