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 that we can help with timely referrals for community services and early developmental intervention, if needed. We see babies in this program from NICU admission through childhood.
Patients need a referral from a health care provider to access care with the Neonatal Follow-up Program. Visit the program’s referral web page for details on how to submit a referral.
Depending on your child’s age, they will be assessed by two to six health care professionals across multiple assessments during their clinic appointment. We will specify the length of your appointment in your appointment letter.
We suggest bringing the following to your child’s appointment:
- Baby or childcare items (e.g. diapers, formula, snacks, etc.)
- Medical or other supplies as needed to support your baby/child such as breathing support and/or tube feeding
- Other items such as glasses, hearing aids, orthotics needed to support your child’s assessment
- Reports or assessments you want to share with the team
Your child’s appointment letter will contain relevant details such as the clinic’s location, length of your appointment, parking details, what to bring to your appointment, etc.
Our hours of service are Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
