Lots of babies need extra medical attention after they're born, which is why Jennie Stuart Medical Center established a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to ensure their health - and give mothers additional peace of mind.
Our NICU cares for both premature and critically ill infants. In addition to being highly trained and using advanced technology, our NICU team utilizes a family-centered approach to neonatal care. The emphasis is on providing the family with as much information as possible, a process that often begins with a tour of the NICU before delivery.
Throughout your stay, our staff will carefully explain the baby's prognosis and course of treatment. We'll also try to arrange times for the mother to be with her newborn. Of course, fathers and grandparents are also welcome and encouraged to help nurture the tiny new life.
