HOPPE Program at Hushabye Nursery
The Hushabye Opioid Pregnancy Preparation and Empowerment (HOPPE) program is designed to help you have a healthy pregnancy, healthy baby, safe home and keep your family together.
Our mission is to embrace substance exposed babies and their caregivers with compassionate, evidence-based care that positively changes the course of their entire lives. Our team will walk with you and meet you wherever you are in your recovery journey!
In 2023, only 8% of newborns received their first dose of morphine at Hushabye Nursery. The Eat, Sleep, Console model is the primary intervention for infants with NAS at Hushabye Nursery. The National Association of Neonatal Nurses’ evidence-based practice reports that “[t]he Eat, Sleep, Console Model (ESC) is the number one modality that has shown to significantly reduce postnatal opioid use for the management of NAS and decrease length of hospital stay by as much as 73%.” The ESC model of care significantly decreases length of treatment and cost of care.
Get ready to party with a purpose at Hushabye Nursery’s Fundraising Gala in October!

This is a stark reminder that vigilance near water is non-negotiable. Whether it’s a pool, a bathtub, or the beach, always keep a watchful eye on loved ones, especially children.

Last week, we had the honor of welcoming Arizona Department of Corrections Rehabilitation and Reentry Director Ryan Thornell, Deputy Director Tara Diaz, and Medical Director Dr. Grant Phillips, to Hushabye. We showed them around the nursery and discussed ways that Hushabye can support families that are currently in the Arizona Prison system. We can’t wait to grow our work in this space that is critical to the success of our community members with justice involvement.
