Advances in Neonatal Care: 20 Years, 1445 Manuscripts, and Countless Nurses Touched and Infants Impacted!

Abstract

As the Founding Editor-in-Chief of Advances in Neonatal Care (ANC), I am honored to be invited by Drs Debra Brandon and Jacqueline McGrath to write the first in a series of guest editorials celebrating the 20-year anniversary of the journal’s launch. Many of you may not know that this journal was “conceived” during the Presidency of our visionary leader Dr Carole Kenner, and we gave “birth” during the term of the National Association Advances in Neonatal Care: 20 Years, 1445 Manuscripts, and Countless Nurses Touched and Infants Impacted! In this editorial, our first ANC Editor-in-Chief, Dr Madge Buus-Frank, provides a thoughtful look back at the past 20 years of neonatal care and our journal. We hope you will learn from our past and look to our future through her thoughtful words.
