Neonatology / NICU
Neonatology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the care of newborn infants, particularly those who are born prematurely or with medical complications. At CHOC, our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) provides advanced care for these fragile infants, utilizing the latest technology and medical expertise. Our team of neonatologists, nurses, and support staff work tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients and their families. With a commitment to compassionate care and innovative treatments, CHOC's NICU is a leader in neonatology.
