Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

The birth of a baby is a joyous time. But sometimes complications arise during pregnancy or birth. For families facing uncertainty, Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida focuses on providing the finest care for your precious little ones.

Premature births, congenital diseases, and other potentially serious health concerns are just some of the reasons why a fully staffed neonatal intensive care unit is vital to the health of our community.

Keeping Your Newborn Close to Home

Level III Facility

Specializing in the care of critically ill children throughout Southwest Florida, our NICU is a Level III facility that has been designated a Regional Perinatal Intensive Care Center by the Florida Department of Children's Medical Services, one of only 11 such centers in the state and the only one in our region.

Our  healthcare professionals specialize in caring for babies born premature and full term infants that need specialized care. Our dedicated team of board certified neonatologists, neonatal ICU nurses, nurse practitioners, respiratory and occupational therapists, and dietitians are all experienced in caring for an ill infant’s special needs.

    Having your baby in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) can be scary for parents. Our healthcare professionals specialize in caring for premature infants or infants born with medical complications. The team at Lee Health is here for you and your family every step of the way!

Whole Health Approach

Our scope of care doesn’t end with a newborn’s physical well-being. Hospital chaplains and social workers provide spiritual and emotional support, and The Ronald McDonald House helps families with a place to stay.

Additionally, special volunteers affectionately known as "cuddlers" are trained to be with sick newborns to give them the warmth of human touch during those times when parents can’t be there. As we strive to make your experience with us as comfortable as possible, learn more about us and the variety of resources we have available to you and your family.

NicView™ Streaming Camera System

Lee Health's Neonatal ICU now has NicView™, an innovative small camera system placed at designated bed spaces and allows parents, family and friends to view their infant in real-time, 24/7, through a secure on-line portal. 

This service helps families develop that bond with their preemie or hospitalized infant even when they can’t be in the NICU with them. It is the next best thing to being there.

The camera delivers a secure image stream for parents and family members to view their baby remotely. Family members can securely access NicView from anywhere there is an Internet connection via laptop, smartphone, or tablet.

Primary Care Pediatricians

When your baby is released from the NICU, a pediatrician will oversee their continued care. If you have not chosen a pediatrician, we recommend you do so before leaving the hospital.

Your pediatrician will help you schedule your baby’s first well-check visit. This appointment should take place within one to three days after going home from the hospital.
