PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (WMDJ) - On Monday, Highlands ARH Regional Medical Center held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new Level 2 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Level 2 NICU can provide care for moderately sick infants who are expected to improve quickly. These babies are typically born between 32 and 35 weeks gestation and weigh at least 3.3 pounds.
In addition to the opening of the NICU, Highlands ARH Regional Medical Center has an updated infant security system and newly renovated patient rooms. These private rooms for our mothers and their babies help promote a family-friendly environment. The OB Unit includes two renovated OR suites on the floor and our labor and delivery. Several experienced OB providers and pediatricians in the area have Highlands Regional Medical Center privileges to admit and see patients.
