Improvement Palooza 2026
Unifying NICU Care, Empowering Families: Translating Knowledge into Action
Wednesday, March 18, 2026 at the Sheraton San Diego Resort
The seventh annual Improvement Palooza brings together multidisciplinary NICU teams, parent partners, and leaders from across California for a day of connection and collaboration.
This year spotlights innovative, family-centered strategies—addressing health-related social needs, improving pain management and palliative care, and strengthening partnerships with families.
✨ New in 2026: For the first time, all attendees will come together Wednesday afternoon for joint learning sessions with our partners from CAN and SoNPM, including a panel on Communication and Connection in the NICU and a keynote from our very own Dr. Susan Hintz on improving the NICU-to-HRIF transition.
Be part of the energy, insight, and impact that define Improvement Palooza!
