The Newton & Betsy Thomas Family Center for Newborn & Infant Intensive Care at Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital

Our newest NICU includes a surgical NICU with 11 beds in 10 private rooms, promoting a family-centered environment. While the unit has expertise in caring for premature infants, by design, the strength of the unit is caring for newborns and infants needing dedicated care by rare pediatric specialists, and neonates with surgical needs. Because the NICU at Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital is not incorporated in a delivery center, most babies will arrive via transport. The NICU and PICU work in harmony with the hospital’s emergency department, which is the region’s only 24/7 pediatric ER, as well as our Level II pediatric trauma unit.
