New NICU
Elevates Care for
Tiny Newborns
and Families
I
n December, Providence Cedars-Sinai
Tarzana Medical Center unveiled its newly
refurbished neonatal intensive care unit
(NICU). Located in our Women's Pavilion,
the new NICU elevates and reinforces the
hospital's commitment to providing the
highest-quality care for premature and
critically ill newborns.
Construction of the new space took
five years, and during that time the NICU's
caregivers worked in temporary quarters,
which reduced the unit's capacity from
21 beds to 10. The new NICU restores the
original capacity, which enables the hospital
to better meet the needs of babies requiring
specialized care.
