Infant Transport Program

The Neonatal-Pediatric Transport Service transports neonates and pediatric patients up to the age of 4 years, from a 20-county region of Northwest North Carolina, southern Virginia, and eastern Tennessee, to the Intensive Care Nursery, the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, the Pediatric Emergency Department, and the in-patient unit at Brenner Children’s Hospital.

The transport team is composed of registered nurses and respiratory therapists who specialize in the care of critically ill children. The transport is done using either the Medical Center’s specially-equipped transport ambulances or by AirCare, the North Carolina Baptist Hospital helicopter transport system.

To request the Neonatal-Pediatric Transport service, please call 1-800-277-7654. Your call will be transferred to either a neonatologist or a pediatric intensivist who will be able to assist you in arranging transport of the patient to Brenner Children’s Hospital.
