Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Giving birth to a sick or premature baby can be quite unexpected for any parent. The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) provides high-risk care for babies should the need arise. The NICU combines advanced technology and trained health care professionals who provide tailored care for specific needs.
Most babies admitted to the NICU are premature (born before 37 weeks of gestation), have a low birth weight, experienced difficulties during delivery or show signs of a problem shortly after birth. The length of time babies spend in the NICU depends on the severity of their conditions.
Houston Northwest Medical Center has an anesthesiologist and neonatologist in-house 24-hours a day to care for you and your newborn. The hospital also offers 24 private maternity rooms in a family-centered environment.
