While all families have high expectations of a healthy, full-term infant, a deviation from the expected path can sometimes occur. Approximately nine percent of infants in Virginia are born prematurely (< 38 weeks) and others have physical problems that require specialized care.

Our NICU provides around-the-clock observation and care for premature and sick infants as young as 28 weeks.
