At Brenner Children’s Hospital, the Dale & Karen Sisel Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and The Birth Center are central to our mission.

In less than a year since we opened each (through April 30, 2020), we have seen:

 

  • More than 2,000 babies delivered
  • 725 NICU patients from 28 counties

We offer our community and our region the finest neonatologists, pediatric surgeons, neonatal nurse practitioners, nurses and pediatric specialists equipped with state-of-the-art technology and equipment. They care for our tiniest, most vulnerable patients—giving them the best chance of surviving and thriving throughout their lives.

The new Dale & Karen Sisel NICU with 51 private patient rooms gives every infant and family who comes through our NICU the best chance for the best life possible.
