We provide the highest level of intensive care to sick and premature newborns. In fact, we rank among one of the best in neonatal care among children's hospitals, according to U.S. News & World Report.
Among the common prenatal conditions we treat are breathing, intestinal and surgical problems, congenital heart defects, prematurity, and very low birth weight. To do this, we provide a quiet and nurturing environment that closely mimics the womb with subdued lighting and noise; slow, gentle motions when treating preemies; and swaddling to provide a sense of security.
Research has shown that these practices result in:
Once settled in the unit, your baby will receive care tailored to their specific needs. We are not only committed to providing the most advanced neonatal care, but also to providing you with the emotional and practical support you need through parent mentors and lactation consultants.
We also encourage Kangaroo Care, or skin-to-skin contact between parent and newborn. This has been shown to stabilize vital signs, such as heart and respiratory rates, and lessen the need for oxygen, while also encouraging bonding.
In addition, we’re a member of the Vermont Oxford Network, a data-sharing collaboration of neonatal professionals worldwide, and one of only 12 centers to be part of the network's quality improvement initiative called, "Your Ideal NICU."
