High risk infants deserve high quality care.
With our multi-disciplinary team, we work in conjunction with primary care to meet the needs of these infants and their families. We serve as a liaison between the NICU team, pediatrician and subspecialists in order to smooth the transition home, provide ongoing support to the patients and their families, and help ensure the patient receives the highest quality medical care. Through the NICU Graduate Clinic, our team maintains their commitment to academic medicine and ongoing advancements through quality improvement and research endeavors which will enhance the care of the NICU graduate.
