Infants born prematurely or with medical problems have immediate access to our NICU services at Madison Memorial. Our level 2B Neonatal Intensive Care Unit provides care for preterm or sick infants from 32 weeks gestation to term (40 weeks).

 

We specialize in the late preterm infants (34-37 weeks gestation).  Our state-of-the-art 14 bed NICU is staffed with Neonatologists, NICU-trained Pediatricians, NICU-trained nurses, respiratory therapists, occupational therapists, and social workers. The design of our unit allows families to nurture their babies in a private, comfortable, and nurturing environment.
