The Newborn/Infant Intensive Care Unit (N/IICU) at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia isa 100- bed Level IV unit with significant growth planned in the coming years. For more than 50 years, we've cared for critically ill babies with all types of conditions and congenital malformations using the latest technology and advances in neonatal medicine.

We provide care for neonates who need acute medical care, including multidisciplinary evaluations, complex surgical intervention, ECMO and special low-dose radiologic imaging.

The medical staff is organized into teams, led by a senior neonatologist. Fellows, pediatric residents, neonatal nurse practitioners and pediatricians work with the neonatologists on each team to provide care for 12-18 babies. CHOP N/IICU APPs also have the opportunity to practice at our level III NICU at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
