Specialized Maternity Teams
Our Maternity Centers offer you access to specialists for mother and baby if the need arises. For babies that need extra care and attention, we achieve exceptional outcomes in our Neonatal Intensive Care Units, which offer private rooms specially designed to promote growth and development. CHI Health has 5 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) for premature or high-risk pregnancies and are staffed around the clock with board-certified neonatologists, neonatal nurse practitioners and specially trained nurses.
Maternal-Fetal (perinatal) physicians are on staff. Anesthesia and hospital physicians are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for C-section births. Specially trained nurses and staff offer personalized care. Lactation (breastfeeding) consultants are available 7 days a week – even after you leave the hospital. A Lactation support group is available through our Baby and Parenting class offerings.
