Our Patients
The NICU cares for hundreds of newborns a year. Premature infants (preemies) are the most common patients in the NICU. A premature infant is any infant born before 37 weeks. The NICU also cares for micro preemies (babies weighing less than 3.5 pounds), babies that are either small or large for their gestational age, babies with jaundice, babies with diabetic mothers, and twins or multiple births.
