    Good Samaritan Hospital cuddler program gives premature patients a human touch


    On a recent Tuesday around noon in the neonatal intensive care unit of Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, volunteer cuddler Sharlene Rodenberg of Saratoga sat in a rocking chair, holding and comforting one of three triplet preemies. The infant, swaddled in a pink, blue and white striped blanket to keep her feeling secure and safe, lay in Rodenberg's arms on a pillow that dwarfed her 4-pound body. Rodenberg is one of GSH's cuddlers, volunteers who hold the premature babies and other infants in the NICU.   More
