NICU Services
Focused on the Health & Wellbeing of Newborns & Their Families
Our 30-room Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is the regional referral center for neonatal consultation and care of high-risk newborns. If your baby requires our services, we want you to know that our specially trained neonatologists, registered nurses, and therapists will go above and beyond to deliver high-quality, compassionate care.
Our Services
Family-Centered Care
Our NICU was designed with family-centered care in mind. We allow parents and grandparents to visit anytime, day or night, and strongly encourage family members to participate in caregiving and treatment planning as often as possible.
All Private Rooms
We only offer private rooms for our most fragile newborns. Private rooms foster more bonding, healing, and growth, reduce the risk of infection and ensure complete confidentiality for our families and medical staff.
Ronald McDonald Family Rooms
When families need to be close to their NICU babies, we offer them the comfort and convenience of the Ronald McDonald Family Room – the only facility of its kind in the region, featuring beautiful guest rooms, lounges, a kitchen, and Wi-Fi.
Children’s Miracle Network
The Children’s Miracle Network plays an important role in ensuring that we deliver the best care possible to our NICU babies. Our local network helps us purchase medical equipment, provide continuing education, and promote awareness of programs that benefit children across the region.
