The 21-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) handles a  full range of medical problems of premature and critically ill newborns. Pediatric anesthesia, general surgical and neurosurgical services are available when needed. Diagnostic capabilities include laboratory medicine, radiology (ultrasound, CT and MRI) and echocardiography. Cardiovascular surgery for patent ductus arteriosus is performed in the NICU.

When intensive care is no longer needed the neonate progresses to the Special Care Nursery. Multidisciplinary care continues until the infant is ready for discharge. The staff provides extensive support and teaching to prepare families to provide ongoing care at home. A family room is available to allow parents to room-in overnight prior to discharge of their infant.

The Full Term Nursery is designed to provide unified mother-baby nursing for infants who are term or near-term and who have no acute medical problems. Medical support is provided by the neonatal nurse practitioners with consultation from the neonatologists when needed.
