About Our Location
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at University of Vermont Health - Golisano Children's Hospital provides critical care to infants born across the region. We care for more than 650 infants every year and are equipped with the personnel, space and technology to provide subspecialty intensive care.
When your baby is in our care, you can feel assured that they are receiving advanced care from a team of experts.
We also support you and your family during this challenging time and prepare you to care for your newborn after discharge.
Your Visit
Our NICU is open to you around-the-clock. If you come to us from outside the Burlington area, our social workers can help you find lodging so you can stay close to your infant. We typically allow two caregivers to visit an infant in the NICU at one time.
Some infants stay in the NICU for only a few hours, while others are with us longer. We support you and your family while providing state-of-the-art care for your child, no matter how long you are with us.
Video-Assisted Neonatal Care
UVM Health's youngest patients get immediate support from our neonatal intensive care experts at Golisano Children's Hospital, thanks to innovations in video-assisted health care.
