Morristown Medical Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
Every year, more than 3,800 babies are born at Morristown Medical Center, a Level III Regional Perinatal Center that cares for the highest risk mothers and babies. About 14 percent of these babies require specialized care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). In the last several years, the increase in high-risk and multiple births has led to a 30 percent increase in the number of newborns admitted to the NICU.
Morristown Medical's NICU, "Sam's NICU," consists of 34 private/semi-private rooms, including those that accommodate families with triplets and quadruplets. Sam's NICU promotes family-centered care and offers amenities such as comfortable recliners, breast pumps and family areas in each patient room.
Our unit includes state-of-the-art equipment providing specialized care for a wide range of neonatal conditions including respiratory, cardiac, genetic, renal, neurological, hematological and metabolic diseases. A neonatologist and an advanced practitioner are available in the NICU 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Sick infants who are transported to Morristown Medical are accompanied by a hospital-based team made up of physicians, neonatal nurses and respiratory therapists. The baby travels in the ambulance in a specially designed incubator, with an integrated newborn respirator, intravenous pumps and cardio-respiratory monitors – everything the transport team needs to keep the baby safe and stable during the trip. This highly skilled team is available for immediate transport 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
