We offer long-term neurodevelopmental and medical monitoring for babies who continue to need close monitoring after discharge from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Infants may be born prematurely or have medical complexity following their delivery.
Our team provides assessments of babies’ key milestones so we can help with timely referrals for community services and early developmental intervention, if needed. We see babies through this program from NICU admission to school age.
Patients need a referral from a health care provider for this program.
