Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a 39-bed unit for newborns born prematurely, need specialized treatment, or are sick. An in-house neonatal intensivist is available around the clock to provide the most advanced evidence-based care for our tiniest population.
Babies in the NICU are cared for in state-of-the-art Giraffe OmniBeds, which are specialized incubators and infant warmers all-in-one, reducing the stress on the baby.

What is the difference between palliative and hospice care?
Palliative and hospice are similar in that they both focus on comfort and quality of life. Palliative care is provided to manage symptoms, determine goals of care and assist in advance care planning while you are still undergoing treatment. Palliative care can be received by patients at any time and at any stage of illness, whether it be life-limiting or not.
Hospice care is often chosen when the burden outweighs the benefit of ongoing treatments intended to cure and when life expectancy is six months or less.
