Highlands ARH Regional Medical Center Opens Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Sponsored - Highlands ARH Regional Medical Center recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new Level 2 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Dr. Marjorie Haas, one of the neonatologists for the unit, says, “The development of a NICU at the Highlands ARH hospital will provide multiple benefits to expectant families in the community. More mothers will be able to deliver their babies locally with the assurance that an elevated level of care can be provided to their infants who may require it. Unanticipated issues of newborn care may also be able to be cared for in the community. In addition, infants who have been born in another hospital may be able to be transferred back to the Highlands ARH NICU to “feed and grow” closer to home.”
