Home Clinical Services Newborn Medicine
Children's Hospital Boston's Division of Newborn Medicine provides state-of-the-art, comprehensive specialty care to newborn infants with a wide range of congenital and acquired conditions. We care for extremely premature infants as early as 23 weeks gestation, up to term infants with a variety of medical and surgical illnesses. We provide services in Children's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), affiliated Community Hospital Special Care Units, and the Infant Follow-up Program at Children's.
Children's ranked one of top pediatric hospitals
The Division of Newborn Medicine is a prime reason for Children's Hospital Boston being ranked one of the top two pediatric hospitals in the United States for 18 years. The rankings are based on a nationwide survey of physicians conducted by U.S.News & World Report.
The Division of Newborn Medicine consists of a specially trained team of physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists and other health professionals to diagnose and treat newborns with critical care illnesses. Our team provides supportive, family centered care in a technologically cutting edge environment.

Children's NICU cares for more than 500 newborns annually, and serves as a local, regional, and international referral center for pre- and postnatal consultation, neonatal intensive care, and infant follow-up services.
