Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

The 50-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) provides a wide range of newborn services specially tailored for individualized care of extremely premature neonates and newborn infants requiring medical or surgical intervention in a family centered environment. The NICU is located on the sixth floor of the Greenberg Pavilion in the Phyllis and David Komansky Center for Children's Health at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.

Attending neonatatologists, neonatal fellows, pediatric residents, and a team of neonatal nurse practitioners provide patient care. In addition a full complement of pediatric sub specialty consultants attracts the transfer of sick neonates from multiple hospitals in the greater New York region. Comprehensive subspecialty surgical care is provided by general, cardiothoracic, urology, plastic, maxillofacial/facial, neurosurgical and orthopedic surgeons. The Department of Pediatrics offers consultation by all pediatric subspecialties.

An active newborn service with approximately five thousand deliveries per year includes an extensive infertility program and high-risk perinatal obstetrics. Prenatal counseling by the neonatal team during high risk pregnancies is provided in a close collaboration with the obstetrician and the perinatologist.
