Neonatal care
We understand the stresses that come with the birth of a baby who needs special care.
Because you and your family are your baby’s main source of strength and support, we follow a philosophy of family-centered care that nurtures the strong bonds between you and your child that began before birth. Our goal is to partner with you to achieve the best possible outcomes for your baby.
Our neonatal intensive care units
A neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a specialized intensive care nursery for newborn babies born prematurely or with certain health conditions. UCHealth’s Level III NICUs are among the top facilities of their kind in Denver, Colorado Springs and Fort Collins, equipped to care for seriously ill newborns 24 hours a day.
Our highly specialized teams of neonatologists, neonatal nurses, respiratory therapists and other specialists ensure your baby receives the best medical and nursing care available.
- Longs Peak Hospital – Level II NICU
- Medical Center of the Rockies – Level II NICU
- Highlands Ranch Hospital – Level III NICU
- Memorial Hospital North – Level II NICU
Level II nurseries care for infants born around 32–34 weeks who are ill but stable, while Level III nurseries care for critically ill or very small infants born earlier than 32 weeks who need more advanced treatments.
All UCHealth neonatal intensive care unit locations offer the latest equipment and modern family-focused amenities.
