Why schedule a follow-up appointment?

Neonatal development follow-up, a specialized service, assesses the growth, development, and health of infants who were born prematurely or have medical conditions that could affect their development. Our nurses identify developmental delays or concerns early on, and they ensure appropriate support and care for your child. Developmental follow-up can significantly reduce long-term disabilities and helps your child reach their full potential.
