Specialists in neonatal care, we offer consulting services, regular nursery care, premature birth care and treatment of babies with mild to severe illnesses—across four different integrated facilities. As a baby’s and family’s first pediatric caregiver, our neonatologists often begin their work by providing prenatal consultation to women experiencing preterm labor, carrying multiple babies or following the finding of a possible congenital malformation that may require special preparation for the birth and coordination of treatment services for the infant.
Our team works closely with our obstetric partners through the Fetal Medicine Management Program. Their risk assessment and maternal transfer programs are so effective that over 90% of high risk babies are born within our facilities, assuring that mother and baby are not separated after birth. If we know that your newborn will need immediate surgery, you can meet with the appropriate specialists and surgeons during the prenatal period. Our team of surgical consultants includes all of the pediatric subspecialties: general pediatric surgery, chest and heart surgery, neurosurgery, craniofacial and reconstructive surgery, orthopaedics, ophthalmology, ear-nose-and-throat and urology.
The tiniest, most fragile newborns require the highest quality of care. Our board-certified neonatologists, neonatal practitioners, neonatal nurses and respiratory therapists, pediatric hospitalists, pediatric surgeons, and extended team of neonatal specialists and support staff work together to provide safe, effective care for your little one. We partner with parents and colleagues from other specialties to provide the most effective care for your baby.
