Who will be responsible for overseeing my babys medical care in the hospital?
Your baby’s pediatrician will coordinate the care of your infant with the nurses. By the time you are 35 weeks gestation, you should have chosen a pediatrician for your baby. If you do not have a physician, call the Memorial Physician Referral Service at (800) 944-DOCS. Please bring the name and phone number of your pediatrician with you when you come to the hospital. If your pediatrician is not on staff at Memorial Hospital West, the staff neonatologist will act as the pediatrician during their hospital stay. We will still require the name and phone number of the pediatrician even if they are not on staff.
