What to Expect

Family-Centered/Developmentally Supportive Care

Physicians, nurses, social workers and administrative staff at the neonatal intensive care unit work together to provide a positive family-centered care experience. Our family-centered care concept holds that families of the newborn should feel as comfortable as possible in coming to the neonatal intensive care unit and asking questions of the staff, and that they should feel empowered with information and in the direct involvement of care of their baby. Our staff highly values compassionate, respectful behavior towards our young patients and their families.
