University Hospitals Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital is a modern 244 bed dedicated children's hospital with a nationally renowned faculty. UH Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital's eight-story patient care tower, which opened in 1997, is one of the most advanced, family-centered pediatric hospital sites in the nation. Approximately 10,000 newborns, children, and adolescents are admitted annually to UH Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital, where they receive first-rate care in a warm, supportive environment conducive to healing.

NICU

UH Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) has long been a leader in the field and was ranked #2 by US News and World Report in 2008 and 2009. A brand new NICU was opened in the spring of 2009 and utilizes the most technologically advanced equipment, including video monitors on every incubator and the first procedural bed for neonates. Great care was also taken to create a welcoming and soothing environment and incorporates a nature theme in every patient pod. Our NICU takes care of very acutely ill neonates, with referrals from several states and approximately 200 births each year of infants weighing less than 1.5kg.
