Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU)

Premature infants often have not spent enough time in the womb for their lungs to develop fully. Many may need a respirator or other respiratory assistance until they grow enough to breathe independently. Common respiratory conditions in infants include respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), persistent pulmonary hypertension and pneumonia.

Our physicians identify, monitor, and treat congenital heart defects with the aid of a pediatric cardiologist. Newborns requiring surgery are cared for in our NICU. Children with congenital disabilities of the brain, spine, intestines, kidneys, lungs, genitals, and limbs are all managed here.

Gaining weight is an infant’s most important job. But sometimes, this can be difficult, especially if an underlying medical condition compromises the newborn’s health. Our doctors and nurses monitor your baby’s weight daily. We can provide supplemental nutrition to your baby through their veins or a tube in their mouth. We will help feed your baby until they are strong enough to be fed by breast or bottle.
