Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

Newborn babies who need intensive medical attention are often admitted into a special area of the hospital called the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The NICU is covered by UCLA board certified Neonatologists who provide expert inhouse medical care 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The NICU combines advanced technology and highly trained healthcare professionals to provide specialized care for the tiniest patients.

We offer the area’s only Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Pediatrics departments. For over 30 years, Antelope Valley Hospital’s NICU has created thousands of positive outcomes for babies that required immediate care after birth.

Please be advised that NICU has different visiting rules from the rest of the hospital to protect our tiny patients. Rules will be discussed upon admission to the unit.
