Part 2/5:
During the episode aired on April 2, Pompeo recounted her experiences volunteering alongside her husband, Chris Ivory, at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. She introduced viewers to a unique and impactful program that engages with the hospital's youngest patients. This initiative involves recording the voices of parents singing nursery rhymes or telling stories, which are then played to babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Pompeo explained the emotional and developmental benefits of this program, emphasizing how it fosters a connection between parents and their infants during challenging times when parents are unable to be physically present. However, the program relies on financial support to sustain its operations.
