St. Mary's NICU team is adding a physician to join the only Level III nursery in the region. The NICU team is highly respected and are looking for a BE/BC physician to be a partner in patient care.
St. Mary's specially trained NICU team can care for babies born weighing less than one pound. Our tiniest NICU graduate weighed 10.9 ounces at birth (the weight of a can of soup), was 9 inches long and is now enjoying life at home with her family. Overall, our NICU's neonatal survival outcomes are higher than the national average.
Our comprehensive, cutting-edge NICU services include:
- 24/7, on-site coverage
- The tri-state area's first and only emergency transport team for expectant mothers and newborns
- The area's only hospital that offers inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) therapy, an innovative therapy for infants in respiratory failure.
- Care of common surgical problems such as GI obstruction and hernias so you don't have to go out of town to get the care your child needs
- Laser eye surgery and other surgical procedures are performed right in the NICU, reducing the need to transport fragile babies on ventilators to another area of the hospital
- Several types of ventilation for babies with respiratory problems
St. Mary's Hospital is part of St. Vincent Health and a member of Ascension Health. We live the mission, vision and values in our medical center each day. Caring for body, mind and spirit.
