Level 2 NICU in New Albany, IN

Here at Baptist Floyd, we have a level two NICU. And should your infant need, specialized care, we are able to take care of those babies that are thirty two weeks or greater, babies that weigh fifteen hundred grams or more, so approximately three pounds five ounces. We can take care of babies that have respiratory distress, prematurity, babies that might need antibiotics for a certain reason, babies that have low blood sugar, or even something as simple as, needing phototherapy for a high jaundice level.

One of the most important things about having the NICU here at Baptist Floyd in Southern Indiana is knowing that the parents can actually stay local to the area. Having a level two NICU here at the hospital with coverage provided by experienced providers that are in house for twenty four hours a day, seven days a week can give those families a little bit of extra security and comfort knowing that their babies are well taken care of. I think it's really important to keep mothers and babies together because it provides a sense of bonding. It helps the babies grow actually if the moms, can stay along with their babies.

I have a deep seated love for babies. So knowing that I could to help the tiniest of babies, in the beginning of their lives, and I kinda shape that for the parents' future, it's a very rewarding experience.
