The Level II and Level III NICU allows us to provide advanced nursing care for infants born prematurely, infants with special needs, and infants who are medically compromised. This advanced level of service allows mother and baby to stay together after delivery. Our medical staff includes board-certified Pediatricians, Anesthesiologists, Neonatologists, Perinatologists (Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist), Neonatal Nurse Practitioners, and specially trained Registered Nurses and Respiratory Therapists that are available 24/7 to handle any need that may arise.
Our nursing staff is available to support new parents with education in newborn care, provide encouragement to new parents in the care of their newborn, and promote bonding between the new parents and their newborn. Each of our nurses are certified in infant CPR and advanced life support.
Childbirth Classes - We understand the importance of preparing for delivery during this most exciting time in your life. To assist those first-time parents, we offer comprehensive childbirth classes monthly, covering such topics as stages of labor, methods of delivery, baby and post partum care, breast and bottle feeding, and many more. Each class concludes with a tour of the OB Unit. Please call 972-412-3296 to make your reservation. All parents-to-be are invited to tour our facility and visit our nursing staff who are always happy to answer any questions you may have.
Our pre-registration process allows for immediate admittance on the day of delivery and provides our staff with access to vital information on both mother and child.
We are also staffed with a certified Lactation Consultant and all nursery and postpartum staff have attended the Texas Department of Health Breastfeeding course to assist you in promoting a good start to your breastfeeding.
We offer the birthing partner the option of rooming with the mother and baby. Open visitation is available from 9:00AM to 9:00PM on the Postpartum floor. Visitation in Labor and Delivery is 24 hours a day.
