services in a safe, yet warm and comfortable atmosphere:

Neonatal Care Unit
SLMVRMC offers the only Neonatal Care Unit in the Magic Valley. We provide
compassionate, highly skilled care for infants who are sick or
up to 10 weeks premature. The SLMVRMC medical and nursing staff
work closely with St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center to
share education and collaborate on treatment protocols.
Extremely premature and critically ill infants are transferred
to St. Luke’s, and they often return to SLMVRMC when their
condition improves. SLMVRMC and St. Luke’s have also worked
together to improve the post-hospital therapy and medical care
available in the Magic Valley to eliminate the need for our youngest
patients and their families to travel to Boise for ongoing outpatient
care.
Perinatal Transport
Service
The
Perinatal Transport team, which features our own highly trained
staff, transports expectant mothers, and newborns to SLMVRMC for
care. The Perinatal Transport Service is available 24 hours a day
to respond to calls for help from outlying hospitals.
Women’s Imaging Services

unique health care needs of women in our community:

to assist radiologists in identifying areas on the mammogram that
warrant another review.
