The three organizations will work together to ensure continuous provider coverage for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) patients at Shannon while also sharing innovative best practices and models of care between the hospitals, according to a news release issued July 15, 2021.
Almost 2,000 babies are born each year at Shannon Women’s & Children’s Hospital and the Shannon South Hospital, and an estimated 10-15% of all newborns need additional neonatal care at birth, the news release stated.
