Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
(NICU)

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is an 18-bed unit and is located on the 7^th floor across the hall from Labor and Delivery.  This Level III care unit provides the highest level of care for infants born prematurely and also for those nearer full term who have medical problems at the time of delivery.  Medical Center’s NICU is a referral center for many of the surrounding counties. This special unit is staffed by neonatologists, neonatal nurse practitioners, RNs, LVNs, and respiratory therapists and other personnel with many years experience represented.
