The calm, quiet setting of Hoag’s NICU is also conducive to families sharing intimate bonding time with their little ones. The comfort and well-being of NICU parents is also an important focus, which is why Hoag provides a spacious parent’s lounge with a kitchenette and computer access for education and research, as well as comfortable accommodations for overnight stays. Utilizing best practices for delivery of care, Hoag’s expert neonatal team consists of board-certified neonatologists and Magnet-designated neonatal nurses experienced in delivering the highest level of compassionate care to critically ill newborns and infants. A neonatologist is available on the unit at all times, and the ratio of neonatal nurses-to-patients is exceptionally low to assure excellent care. As a multidisciplinary unit, Hoag’s NICU also utilizes the expertise of occupational therapists, social services case managers, respiratory therapists and pharmacists.
