St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital has started construction on a $9.4 million project that includes an expansion of its Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and renovation of the Obstetrics Unit. The 16,500 square-foot project is expected to be completed in early 2020.

The NICU expansion includes:

• 12 new, private patient suites for a total bed count to 76
• Family-centered design with a full bathroom and sleeping nook for overnight guests in each suite
• Ample space to accommodate the latest high-tech and life-sustaining equipment
• Addition of a transition nursery with six patient beds for infants in need of additional monitoring after birth
• Dedicated to newborns requiring 6 to 8 hours of intermediate care
• Allows more babies to stay with their families instead of being admitted to the NICU
• Complements the spectrum of care for more than 7,000 babies born each year
