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 new UAMS Medical Center.
In a comparison of survival rates for very low birth weight infants (those weighing less than two pounds, three ounces) our NICU program surpassed 90%, which is ahead of national averages. For those born before the usual 37-40 week gestation period or who have medical problems, this illustrates why we get referrals from across Arkansas.
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.
When your 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.
