Our Level IIIB Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) provides specialized care for premature and critically ill newborns. With a team of neonatologists, nurses and support staff available 24/7, we ensure your baby receives the highest level of care in a nurturing environment.
Comprehensive intensive care for your newborn
Tucson Medical Center's NICU is a highly skilled 41-bed Level IIIB nursery staffed 24/7 with neonatologists and an all-RN staff. The unit operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. TMC's NICU nurses provide expert and complex care to these critically ill infants. We nurture their growth and development, while working closely with a team that includes physicians, nurse practitioners, respiratory therapists, pharmacists and social workers. Our families are an important part of the team as well.
