The 3,100-square-foot, level II NICU is composed of six private suites, each one equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment and 24-hour webcam access to the baby\u2019s incubator on a secured, private server. The suites also are large enough to accommodate a bed in the event a family member would like to stay overnight with the baby.<br \/>\n\u201cWe strive to offer world-class, family-centric care to everyone who chooses to deliver their baby at our hospital,\u201d said\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/uscvhh.org\/about-us\/leadership\/keith-hobbs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Keith Hobbs<\/a>, chief executive officer of USC-VHH. \u201cThe NICU is designed to maintain those standards for families that require additional, more complex care, and we are thrilled to open this service to growing families in our community.\u201d<br \/>\nThe NICU is capable of caring for babies as young as 32 weeks of gestation, offering a setting for high-risk pregnancies to be carried out as safely as possible. The facility features a designated lactation area and top-of-the-line technology. Expert neonatologists, registered nurses, respiratory therapists and technicians tend to the unit\u2019s vulnerable arrivals until they are ready to begin their lives at home.<br \/>\nUSC-VHH began building the NICU in 2016 as part of a comprehensive update of its maternal and newborn care. The hospital\u2019s labor and delivery services include several classes and support groups covering topics such as early pregnancy education, infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation and safety, babysitting and sibling education for children expecting a new baby brother or sister. Future parents considering USC-VHH to deliver their baby can call (818) 790-7100 or visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/uscvhh.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">uscvhh.org<\/a>.<br \/>\n\u2014\u00a0Mary Dacuma<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USC Verdugo Hills Hospital\u00a0opened the doors to its new neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) on March 21, officials announced.
