Neonatal Care Unit
MVRMC
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 MVRMC 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 MVRMC when their condition improves. MVRMC 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 MVRMC for care. The Perinatal
Transport Service is available 24 hours a day to respond to calls for help from
outlying hospitals.
