What does a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit mean for a high-risk OB mom?
Receiving prenatal care and delivering at a hospital with a Level III nursery provides the highest level of reassurance to an expecting couple. It guarantees the highest level of newborn care, should a problem arise. It also guarantees that the family will not be separated by transfer of the newborn to another hospital. For families anticipating a baby with special needs, the multi-specialty group practice at The Cleveland Clinic includes perinatologists and neonatologists that provide a continuum of caring from prenatal visits, through delivery and on to newborn care.
