Our neonatal critical care services at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, located in the Texas Medical Center, include a 118 bed Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the highest level of care available for premature and critically-ill newborns, as designated by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). Through our affiliation with the physicians at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth, Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital provides premature or critically ill patients with a full range of pediatric medical and surgical sub-specialists with 24/7 access to neonatologists. Through Memorial Hermann Life Flight®, our Level IV NICU has the ability to treat critically-ill neonatal patients transferred to our Level IV NICU, one of the biggest in Texas, from community hospitals across Greater Houston. While we use high-tech therapies and advanced equipment, we never lose sight of the value of human touch to the infants in our care.
Our team based approach focuses on meeting the unique needs for preemie babies and providing specialized and personalized around the clock care to every patient.
Kangaroo care is a technique in which a baby is placed in direct contact with a parent’s bare chest where he or she can be rocked and hear the comforting sounds of the parent’s voice and heartbeat.
Because most preemie and neonatal patients require special attention, Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital ensures you are prepared for you and your child's stay here.
