For high-risk pregnancies, premature births or medical needs, our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is ready to care for the tiniest patients and their families.
We have a convergence of technology, the latest thinking in neonatal care and nationally known experts in neonatology. Hope for the future health of your child is offered by the knowledge that your baby is being cared for by the compassionate specialists in our UAMS Medical Center.
In a comparison of survival rates among infants weighing less than two pounds, three ounces, our NICU program surpassed 90%, which is ahead of national averages. Due to our high survival rate, doctors across the state refer infants born before the 37-40 week gestation period or who have medical problems.
We offer private rooms for our patients, including rooms equipped for multiple births. By placing each baby in a private room, we can reduce stress during this vulnerable time by controlling the noise level and physical stimuli. Because each baby has a private room, you
can stay with your newborn for as many days, nights or weeks as your choose.
If your doctor has advised you that your baby will likely have to be in our NICU, we offer tours of the NICU facility before your baby is born. We want you to be as prepared as possible and to have a peace of mind about where your baby will be. You can call 501-686-8084 to schedule a tour. Tours do have to be scheduled.
When you cannot be with your infant, we bridge the distance through Web–based cameras. Our ANGEL Eye program is an online system allowing parents and other authorized family members to view babies via a secure Web site.
Our neonatologists, maternal-fetal specialists and obstetrician/gynecologists include many on staff at UAMS affiliate Arkansas Children's Hospital.
