Premature Infant Care Clinic
| The Clinic is dedicated to providing specialized care to low birth weight and other high risk newborn babies. |
Sometimes babies are born too soon and often have health issues that go hand-in-hand with their prematurity. In November 2000, Forsyth Medical Center opened the Premature Infant Care Clinic to ensure the positive growth and development of very low birth weight babies (below 1500 grams) born at Forsyth Medical Center.
In this clinic, a neonatal nurse practitioner and physician assistant, both under the direction of neonatologists, provide the assessment and care premature infants need.
This program is located at Amos Cottage, adjacent to the Forsyth Medical Center campus. It is offered in association with the physicians of Wake Forest University School of Medicine and receives United Way funding.
