Neonatal Medicine

The Division of Neonatology runs two neonatal centers: a level III NICU at St. John's Hospital and a level II nursery at Memorial Medical Center. The NICU at St. John's Children's Hospital is part of the state of Illinois Perinatal Center. Our 40-bed unit provides care to about 500 seriously ill newborns each year. The NICU team consists of specially trained nurses, respiratory therapists, rehabilitation specialists, social service workers, pharmacists, nutritionists and chaplains, as well as neonatology attendings and pediatric residents.
