Some babies who are born prematurely or with certain medical conditions need care beyond what we can provide at the mother’s bedside. For these babies, our Special Care Nursery (SCN) is available.
Our SCN, in partnership with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, has advanced medical equipment to accommodate the unique needs of sick and premature newborns. Some of the SCN’s features include:
The SCN also caters to the comfort and bonding needs of babies and families. Each of our 12 baby care areas are private and spacious, including recliners to allow comfortable skin-to-skin contact between parents and babies.
The SCN is staffed by a team of professionals from a variety of fields. Each of them has one goal: ensuring that the babies in our care receive the best treatment possible.
The SCN team is directed by Brigham and Women’s neonatologists, who are pediatricians with advanced training in the care of sick and premature babies. They care for infants 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Pediatric specialists in a wide range of subspecialties are available for consultation and treatment of patients in our SCN. Some of these subspecialties include:
These specialists are available through Brigham and Women’s Hospital and when surgery is needed, by MassGeneral for Children at Newton-Wellesley Hospital.
