Neonatologists Even Odds for Early Arrivals

St. Alexius is committed for caring for patients during life’s most fragile moments through its 24-bed, Level III NICU. Staffed by neonatal nurses, therapists, neonatologists, a pediatric neurologist and the region’s only full-time pediatric cardiologist, the care team is educated, skilled and ready to handle critical newborn situations. And because babies born too early or too sick need the highest quality of care, the healing environment includes the latest in sophisticated technology to promote all aspects of care.

St. Alexius’ transport team is available 24/7 with neonatal nurses, respiratory therapists and board-certified neonatologists ready to transport sick or premature infants by air or ground ambulance. The transport team also has a portable NICU in the form of its transport bed – equipped with more monitors to watch the infant’s vital signs, better patient safety through harnesses, and sophisticated ventilator capabilities, including high frequency oscillators and nitric oxide therapy
