Newborn Intensive Care Unit
St. Luke's Magic Valley Medical Center offers
the only Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in the Magic Valley. We provide
compassionate, highly skilled care for infants who are sick
or up to 10 weeks premature. The St. Luke's Magic Valley NICU medical and nursing
staff work closely with
St. Luke’s
Children's Hospital in Boise to share education and collaborate
on treatment protocols.
Extremely premature and critically ill infants are transferred
to the Children's Hospital, and they often return to St. Luke's Magic Valley when
their condition improves. St. Luke's Magic Valley and
St. Luke’s Children's Hospital have
also worked together to improve the post-hospital therapy
and medical care available in the Magic Valley to eliminate
the need for our youngest patients and their families to
travel to Boise for ongoing outpatient care.
