Conditions we screen and assess for
NICU babies are our specialty. Most of our patients have been in the NICU, however, we also see patients from other units as well. These include the Transitional Care Unit (TCU) and the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU).
If your baby was born prematurely or with a serious medical condition requiring NICU care, the N.E.S.T. Center offers follow-up support until the age of 5. We coordinate care for your child, and also provide support for you and your family.
Babies and children we see include:
- Premature infants (<32 weeks)
- Severe congenital heart defects
- Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
- Bronchopulmonary dysplasia
- Intraventricular hemorrhage
- Necrotizing enterocolitis (requiring surgical intervention)
- Patients that have been on ECMO
- Congenital anomalies
- Genetic disorders
- Behavioral concerns
- Neurological complications
