Who will care for my baby if he or she is born prematurely or needs medical care?
If your baby is born prematurely or needs additional medical care, he or she will be transferred to our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The doctors caring for your infant are newborn specialists (neonatologists) who will assume responsibility for your child’s care. The doctors are on staff both at South Shore Hospital and at Children’s Hospital Boston and are available in the hospital 24 hours a day.
