Compassionate Care for Small Miracles
A Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) offering the highest level of neonatal treatment available opened at the Siena Campus in early 2008.
The modern, comfortable 15-bed Level III NICU – the first in the southern part of the Las Vegas valley – features the most advanced technology for monitoring sick and/or premature newborns while our caring, compassionate staff provides a full range of neonatal treatment for medically fragile infants, including:
- 24-hour, on-site board-certified neonatal surgeons and neonatal specialists;
- specially-trained and certified neonatal nurses and respiratory therapists;
- treatment for high-risk babies at any gestational age;
- specialized neonatal transport team; and
- adaptable, self-contained Giraffe omni-beds (versatile infant beds that provide emergency access and that convert to a protective, quiet environment which allows appropriate growth and development of the newborn).
With the Level III designation, St. Rose has the ability to treat critically ill newborns who are premature or who suffer from respiratory distress, cardiac disease, congenital anomalies, multi-system organ failure and other problems – while they stay close to their mother.
Once a newborn no longer needs the highest level of care, he/she will be transferred to the Level II NICU at the San Martin Campus. When this occurs, it's a cause for celebration ... your baby is getting stronger and healthier. To learn more about how the transition process works, click below.
