The Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (RNICU) at UAB’s new Women & Infants Center provides the best possible care for babies born too soon or who are ill. With 56 private rooms able to accommodate 63 babies, including special rooms for twins and triplets, the RNICU was planned around the needs of each newborn and their families, and has taken into account any situation that could arise. The NICU at The Children’s Hospital of Alabama is a Level III, 30 bed unit that includes 4 ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) beds, the only ECMO beds in the state.
