Neonatal intensive care (NICU)

At Studer Family Children’s Hospital, our care teams provide a comfortable environment for your baby and family. And our NICU is designed to give each baby and family their own hospital room. Having private rooms can decrease stimulation and stress, and can help promote bonding between your baby and family. Your NICU care team keeps you and your family involved in your child’s care. You are encouraged to attend medical rounds and participate in your child’s neonatal care as much as possible.

Supportive care, including care for emotional and spiritual health, is available to your family. Social workers and chaplains are also part of your family’s care team. Together, we deliver care that supports your family. Talk with your child’s care team if you have questions or concerns. We can connect you with other care and services you may need.

Our care team at Studer Family Children’s Hospital collaborates to deliver advanced care for premature and critically ill newborns.
