Mercy Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

For a new baby with special care needs – premature babies, or those needing other specialized care – emergency care is just a step away.

Mercy's Level III NICU is able to deliver the highest level of medical care to critically ill newborns. Our NICU is staffed around the clock by a nursing team that has years of education and experience in the critical care of infants. Neonatologists and perinatologists are available 24 hours a day.

• Infant CPR classes free of charge

• Support groups that connect you with families who have faced similar obstacles

• Long-term accommodations for families

• Specially trained volunteers who hold and "snuggle" your baby if you're away

• Tailor-made discharge plan to meet your baby's needs at home
