Specialists from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Good Samaritan Hospital and The University Hospital work in concert to orchestrate the personalized treatment you'll receive. Our decades of experience in high-risk obstetrics, national ranking and dedicated beds for high-risk cases are proof of our commitment to you.
Care is provided at our three renowned institutions.
Good Samaritan Hospital and The University Hospital are both Level III (highest level of expertise) maternity hospitals.
Good Samaritan Hospital is one of the largest obstetric hospitals in the country, with more than 6,000 deliveries annually, of which more than 800 are high-risk.
The University of Cincinnati is ranked as a top five pediatric training program, and Cincinnati Children's, a top 10 children's hospital in the nation (US News & World Report's annual "America's Best Hospitals" survey, 2005).
The Division of Neonatology at Cincinnati Children's is one of the largest in the US and receives more funding for research than any other neonatal department nationwide. Our three, Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) for newborns form the largest National Institutes of Health (NIH) research site across the United States.
All of these distinctions are further assurance that you will receive the finest care possible when you choose the Fetal Care Center of Cincinnati.
Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs)
The Fetal Care Center of Cincinnati offers Level III (the highest level of expertise) Neonatal Intensive Care Units at Good Samaritan Hospital, The University Hospital and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, three outstanding facilities dedicated to the care of pre-term and critically ill babies. Our NICUs draw upon the expertise of one of the largest Neonatology groups nationally, in terms of faculty and expertise, to provide the care each infant needs.
Staffed by experienced nurses and physician specialists, these technologically-advanced units offer leading-edge care and equipment for each infant in a quiet, nurturing environment, as well as privacy and comfort for you and your family.
- Good Samaritan Hospital's NICU is uniquely designed around the delicate little lives served. The unit provides individual, home-like areas for each baby and family. Comfortable chairs let parents relax and visit quietly with their baby. Window shades operate on sensors to keep the light level at just the precise level for the fragile infants. Noise and temperature levels are monitored and controlled. A long list of trained volunteers await the opportunity to be "rockers" – people who literally hold the infants and rock them for a designated time, providing warmth and love when parents cannot be present.
- The University Hospital's Level III NICU is known for its excellence in caring for high-risk newborns. With internationally recognized neonatal and perinatal experts and services, you and your family can be assured that your baby is in expert hands. This 24-hour unit is dedicated to integrating the lives of you and your baby right from the start and encourages you to visit, feed and cuddle your baby as often as possible. Every member of the caring staff is devoted to the tiny patients they care for and, also, to providing emotional and practical support to parents and families.
- The Regional Center for Newborn Intensive Care / RCNIC at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center has a multidisciplinary staff that combines clinically advanced treatment with loving attention as they provide the full spectrum of care that preterm and critically ill babies may require. Parents and families find comfort in the attractive and soothing RCNIC setting.
