At South Shore Hospital, we understand that the birth of a premature or sick baby can be an upsetting experience.

Our dedicated team of physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, and social workers -
as well as respiratory, physical and occupational therapists
- are here to provide expert care for your baby.

Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by board-certified neonatologists who are on staff at both South Shore Hospital and Children’s Hospital, Boston.

If needed, physicians from Children’s Hospital and New England Medical Center with specialized expertise in particular newborn health complications are available for immediate consultation.

South Shore Hospital's neonatal intensive care unit is the Commonwealth's first and only NICU for families of our region that is located outside of Boston. Our NICU cares for premature and frail newborns who need respiratory and other support until they can thrive without medical assistance.

Families are important members of our team. By involving you as partners in your baby's care, we encourage and support you in caring for your baby. Our professional and highly skilled nursing staff respects the individual choices parents have for their babies.

Our goal is to prepare both you and your baby to go home. After many days - or sometimes months - in the hospital, we are committed to assuring a safe transition home.
