News summary

Terri, a baby kangaroo rescued by The Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs, has won hearts with a viral video showing its adorable antics as it seeks cuddles from a keeper. The sanctuary created custom pouches to mimic a mother's pouch, allowing Terri to snuggle comfortably, which has garnered over 4 million views on social media. Meanwhile, a study highlights the benefits of 'kangaroo care'—skin-to-skin contact between parents and premature infants—suggesting it improves cognitive skills and neurodevelopment. This technique, which originated in low-income countries to enhance newborn survival rates, is gaining traction in the U.S. for preemies. Northern Nevada Medical Center has also been accredited as a Level 3 Geriatric Emergency Department to meet the specialized needs of aging patients, ensuring appropriate resources and care for this growing population. The convergence of these topics underscores the importance of comfort and care across various life stages, from infancy to old age.
