Enloe’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
When Babies Need Special Care
The caregivers at Enloe’s Nettleton Mother & Baby Care Center are ready for any maternity urgent care needs that come up during labor. Pediatric providers are also on call at all times.
Babies who require extra care may be taken to Enloe’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Called the Special Care Nursery (SCN), this facility is only steps away from our birthing suites. Specially trained nurses staff the SCN, offering compassionate care to the infants and preemie babies brought there.
If your baby goes to the SCN, caregivers will keep you updated on your baby’s health. You can also visit your newborn in the nursery. We allow two visitors at a time. Our nursery features six special care rooms with a sleeping chair so one parent can spend the night if you’d like.
Preemie babies and other infants who need special care will remain in the SCN until they are well enough to return to their mother’s hospital room or go home, or they may be transferred to another hospital if their condition requires it.
