About IP26

Join us for a dynamic gathering of multidisciplinary NICU teams, parent partners, and leaders driving change across California. The 2026 theme is, "Unifying NICU Care, Empowering Families: Translating Knowledge into Action."

This year’s Improvement Palooza spotlights cutting-edge strategies in family-centered care, with timely sessions on:

  • Addressing health-related social needs through CPQCC’s CARE Collaborative
  • Improving NICU pain management and advancing palliative and comfort care
  • Partnering with families—centered on listening deeply, building trust, and co-designing care improvement efforts
  • NEW in 2026: Joint sessions with CAN on NICU communication dos and don’ts, plus a compelling keynote on strengthening the NICU-to-HRIF transition
