VON members contribute to databases and receive extensive reporting with regional and international benchmarks to target clinical practices and patient outcomes.

All staff at VON member centers are part of our learning community and can participate in QI education, a focused improvement collaborative (Project Warm Welcome, starting January 2027), and conversations/resource-sharing for no additional cost.

VON membership is at the center- or group-level and depends on the size of the hospital and database selected.

Dues for the 2027 membership year are:

• Any Level II center: $7,500
• Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) Database: $8,300
• Expanded Database (includes VLBW and all NICU admissions)
  • Hospitals with fewer than 251 staffed beds: $8,300/year
  • Hospitals with 251-500 beds: $10,300/year
  • Children’s hospitals and hospitals with more than 500 beds: $12,300
• Extremely Low Birth Weight Follow-Up: $500/year ($750/ year for group reporting).
• Global Health Neonatal Quality Improvement Database is provided at no cost to participating centers.

Group reporting and pricing is available.
