Open 24/7About Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
UAMS provides high quality and compassionate medical care for high-risk pregnancies, pre-mature births, and other infants requiring intensive care after delivery. The neonatal intensive care unit is designed and equipped to care for infants as early as 22 weeks gestation. Team members include specially trained physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, dietitians, pharmacists, therapy providers (speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists) and other staff, all dedicated to providing the best care for babies and support for families during their NICU stay.
About Your Baby’s Stay
The NICU has 58 private rooms, including some rooms specially designed for multiples (twins and triplets). The private room design allows staff to adjust light and noise levels, to help reduce stress for our smallest and sickest babies. There is space in each room for family members to stay with their baby as much as they like, even overnight.
When you cannot be with your infant, we bridge the distance through web-based cameras. Our ANGEL Eye program is an online system allowing parents and other authorized family members to view babies via a secure website.
Our neonatologists, maternal-fetal specialists and obstetrician/gynecologists include many on staff at UAMS affiliate Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
Visitation Guidelines
Siblings may visit during the day, except during cold and flu season, but are not allowed to stay in the NICU patient rooms overnight.
