Here to Help Today's NICU's are wonders of high technology and high touch caring, addressing the needs of critically ill babies, premature newborns or infants requiring close observation. But babies in the NICU face challenges that most of us will never have to deal with. For parents, the challenges are equally formidable. Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Case Managers, Care Coordinators and Physician Neonatologists interface with the physicians, nurses and the team of medical and clinical specialists who care for your child while in the NICU. Our primary function is to review your baby's medical information, identify discharge needs and communicate those needs to your insurer or medical group. We assist in obtaining authorization for any needs that your baby may require prior to the day of discharge. The CareNex Health Services Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Team is led by our highly-experienced Physician Neonatologists and onsite Case Managers and Care Coordinators. Our physician Medical Directors are all Board-Certified neonatologists, while our neontal Case Managers and Care Coordinators all have a minimum of five years of Level III in-hospital NICU experience.

It's not easy for parents to see their newborn baby immersed in the high-tech,
fast-paced world of the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). New parents
eagerly look forward to bringing their baby home, so it can be frightening if your newborn needs
to be admitted to the NICU. Some parents have described the NICU experience as
an exhausting, confusing, emotional roller coaster of anguish and hope.
