Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) in Springfield, OR

Pregnancy and childbirth are amazing — and can be unpredictable. While most women give birth to healthy babies, it’s not a guarantee. That’s why it’s important to choose a hospital with a neonatal intensive care unit.

PeaceHealth offers 24/7 care and support to newborns and their new parents. Our Level II NICU, also called a special care nursery, treats babies who were born a few weeks early or have minor health problems. *OR* Our Level III NICU treats even the smallest and sickest of  babies. In most cases, we can care for newborns right here, right away.

The NICU team is led by neonatologists (doctors who treat sick or premature babies). It also includes:

• Neonatal nurses
• Respiratory therapists
• Feeding and swallowing therapists
• Lactation consultants
• Social workers

Babies in our NICU receive expert care with a gentle touch until they’re able to go home.
