Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

Free, personalized web sites that support and connect loved ones during critical illness, treatment and recovery.

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital is exclusively for critically ill newborns that need extra care.

A newborn goes through many physical adjustments and those who are sick need specialized treatment, because they are still rapidly developing.

The NICU at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital is the first-ever built under the revised OSHA guidelines.

Vital life-saving equipment is conveniently located within the unit for immediate access.

The NICU staff includes neonatologists (physicians specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses in premature and full-term newborns), registered nurses, respiratory therapists, and other health care professionals.
