Designed to deliver the most advanced pediatric and neonatal treatment in a gentle, nurturing environment, the NICU ensures that every infant receives the highest standard of care from birth through recovery.

Our NICU accepts infants born at 37 weeks of gestation or less as well as newborns requiring Level II and Level III specialized care, addressing complex medical conditions with the expertise of a multidisciplinary team.

Family-Centered Neonatal Care

At the heart of our NICU is a family-centered approach that treats parents and infants as a single unit. We believe that parental involvement is essential to the recovery and well-being of newborns. Families are encouraged to participate in decision-making, are kept fully informed about all procedures, and receive guidance to ensure they have a complete understanding of their infant’s care plan.

This collaborative approach fosters trust and helps families feel supported throughout their newborn’s stay in the NICU.
