Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

For low birth-weight, critically ill, or premature infants, expert care in the earliest moments of life is crucial. At those times, the medical team, led by our neonatologists, in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is available to provide compassionate and excellent, patient and family-centered care.

Our NICU

• All Saints has the only Level III NICU in Kenosha and Racine Counties. As a Level III nursery, this means we can provide babies with highly specialized care unavailable at many other hospitals.
• The most advanced technology with a state-of-the-art monitoring system.
• The NICU rooms were designed with the needs of the family in mind. An 18-bed unit has private and double rooms. The design focuses on the critical needs of the baby and the privacy needs of the family, while encouraging family participation in the care o f their baby at any time. Parent sleeping accommodations are found either in the baby's room or separate from the unit.
