Newborn Special Care Unit

The Newborn Special Care Unit serves as the Regional Neonatal Center for Southern Connecticut. Every year, about 5,000 infants are born at Yale-New Haven Hospital and more than 800 newborns are admitted to the Newborn Special Care Unit.

Infants are also admitted from other hospitals throughout southern New England and New York for specialized services such as surgery, cardiology, inhaled nitric oxide and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The average daily census is 46, making this the largest clinical unit in the Children's Hospital.

The specialists in neonatology are board certified in neonatal-perinatal medicine and serve as attending physicians in the unit. Through participation in the NIH neonatal network and other national multi-center trials, patients are offered access to the latest treatment modalities.
