Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at UP Health System - Marquette is the region's only intensive care unit specializing in the care of ill or premature newborn infants. Our NICU is staffed by expert neonatologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, and medical professionals who are trained in life-saving care of newborns.
Our compassionate staff goes above and beyond to ensure that you and your child are comfortable. Your newborn may be placed in an incubator, to create conditions that mimic a mother's womb. This ensures an optimal growth environment for a prematurely born child. The incubator balances just the right amount of heat, humidity, and in some cases, oxygen, depending on your newborn's needs.
We're here for you and your newborn to provide the very best possible care at all times, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
