Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

This specialized unit provides care to newborns requiring intensive care and supports short-term ventilation of pre-term infants 30 weeks gestation or more. Our NICU is located on the same floor as The Myhal Family Birthing Centre for fast, coordinated care when needed.

The NICU has a 24-hour family lounge giving our patients and their loved ones a comfortable space for visits during their stay with us. Our NICU has physical capacity for 20 isolettes and includes a care team of neonatologists, pediatricians, neonatal registered nurses, social workers, registered dietitians, registered respiratory therapists, occupational therapists, a lactation consultant, housekeepers and unit clerks. We also have two ‘Care by Parent’ rooms, where parents are able to room in with their babies closer to discharge. We believe that our tiniest community members should receive excellent care close to home.
