Bringing comfort to NICU families and infants

Newborn care at Holy Cross Health is designed to meet each baby’s needs. Most babies are born without serious complications or medical issues and are cared for in a neonatal nursery, staffed by health care professionals who are experts in the care of infants. When more intensive care and support are needed, Holy Cross Health offers sophisticated and specialized treatment in the Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Holy Cross Hospital and in Holy Cross Germantown Hospital's Neonatal Unit.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Holy Cross Hospital 

Newborns with complicated medical issues can be cared for in the newborn ICU at Holy Cross Hospital located in Silver Spring, Md. The 46-bed unit is a Level III NICU, which means it offers a very high degree of complex, quality care and access to a wide range of pediatric specialists for critically ill newborns.

The NICU features state-of-the-art technology to treat babies who are born early or have medical complications that require constant observation or specialized care. The 46-bed unit is the largest Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Maryland, and cares for more critically ill newborns than any other NICU in the state.

Neonatal Unit at Holy Cross Germantown Hospital 

Holy Cross Germantown Hospital's Level II Neonatal Unit is a special care nursery for babies born without complex medical problems, but who need initial help for breathing problems. If a newborn requires more intensive care after the first 24 hours following birth, he or she will be transferred to the Holy Cross Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Silver Spring, or to another facility. Like all patient rooms at Holy Cross Germantown Hospital, the Neonatal Unit features all private rooms for babies and their visiting family.
