Neonatal Intensive Care at Baptist Health System

When babies need specialized care after birth for prematurity, complications during delivery, congenital birth defects or signs of distress after birth, they may need to be admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

With locations around San Antonio and two Level IV NICUs providing the highest level of neonatal care available, Baptist Health System is proud to provide high-level neonatal care to families in San Antonio, New Braunfels and the surrounding communities.

The NICU Experience

You may not be planning for your baby to spend time in the NICU after birth, but you can rest easier knowing your baby is in compassionate, experienced hands with Baptist Health System's NICU teams.
