Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) (973) 322-5300 Saint Barnabas Medical Center is a Regional Perinatal Center. The centerpiece of the pediatric component of the Regional Perinatal Center is the NICU. The 50-bed NICU is under the direction of board-certified neonatologists and staffed by specialized neonatal intensive care nurses using the latest techniques and modalities in the field. Specialists in other pediatric subspecialties are available for prompt consultation and care, as are physical and occupational therapists and social workers. Parents are encouraged to participate in their baby's care and a variety of services are available to them. Our goal is to achieve the highest medical care while encouraging the bonding and love between parent and child. After discharge, Saint Barnabas' high-risk NICU babies are seen on an outpatient basis by the neonatologists in the High-Risk Infant Follow-up Program. A developmental psychologist is also on staff for follow-up of overall developmental status. A NICU Support Group is also available. Also see Pediatrics .
