What Inspires You?

Everyone deserves access to world-class health, especially newborns requiring extra help at birth make a healthy start in life.

As the only Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in the North San Fernando Valley, Providence Holy Cross Medical Center’s NICU is a technologically advanced unit capable of caring for the unique needs of your baby. Our NICU is a tremendous resource for premature infants, and newborns and their families, providing the specialized care they need, close to home. Our newly expanded NICU, entirely funded by philanthropy, doubles our capacity, allowing us to care for more than 300 infants a year. Our patients and their families have access to the most advanced technology. Our caregivers will be able to monitor babies’ heartbeats closely with improved cardio monitoring. The NICU also features enhanced preparation rooms for feeding and medication and a new family conference room for families to have private conversations with their care teams. Providing an enhanced more healing environment that fosters a shorter length of stay for our newborn patients is just another way we’re caring for our community.

New Therapeutic Hypothermia Treatment
This equipment uses a noninvasive process to regulate and maintain the baby’s body temperature to ensure vital organs like the brain, heart and liver continue functioning. The ability to offer this treatment at PHCMC will allow us to treat newborns who need this therapy instead of transporting them to a different facility.

Giraffe OmniBed Incubators
The newly expanded NICU has 18 Giraffe OmniBeds, an increase from the 12 we previously had. The Giraffe OmniBed is a combination of incubator, radiant warmer and protective bed all in one. The incubator serves as a substitute womb, creating a seamless healing microenvironment for each one of our new babies, giving them a safe and warm environment to continue to develop. It allows clinicians to care for, monitor and treat newborns through a variety of procedures, while eliminating the need to remove these fragile infants from the incubator.

Web Cameras
Our web cameras use a secure, stable, password-protected system that will allow family and friends to remotely see their newborn on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Our webcams are often fixed to the Giraffe OmniBeds, which allows parents and authorized viewers to access continuous footage of their newborn from anywhere in the world, at any hour.

“The NICU expansion will greatly enhance how we serve our community. We will be able to ensure that more of our premature and high-risk infants remain on our campus, close to their birth mothers during the first critical 48 hours. Transferring a newborn to another hospital not only affects parent-child bonding but can also affect the healing process of the mother, while adding stress to the whole family. We are grateful that the NICU expansion will reduce transfers and keep fragile newborns onsite with their families.” Jodi L. Hein, DNP, R.N., NEA-BC Chief Nursing Officer, Providence Holy Cross Medical Center
