All expectant parents hope that their babies will be healthy. Yet sometimes problems arise that require a newborn to be hospitalized. When this happens, the baby may be admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for treatment.
It's almost always stressful when a baby is unexpectedly admitted to the NICU. But the doctors, nurses, and other caregivers in the unit will do their best to provide emotional support for you while caring for your infant's medical needs.
With equipment designed for infants and a hospital staff who have special training in newborn care, the NICU is an intensive care unit created for sick newborns who need specialized treatment.
The NICU at Rainbow is a modern 38-bed unit fully equipped to care for newborn infants with complex medical problems. The nursery is designated by the state as a Level III unit & is staffed by an array of specially trained & certified physicians, nurses, including neonatal nurse practitioners, therapists, & other consultant specialists.
It’s where babies can begin to grow and develop in a nurturing, homelike environment.
Where families can bond with their baby, day and night, to enhance and promote healing.
And where lifesaving medical procedures can be performed within the unit, so babies don’t have to make any unnecessary moves.
