Franklin Square Medical Center’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a newly renovated, Level III-B facility equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology and staffed by highly trained, compassionate caregivers. With over twenty years of experience caring for babies who are born prematurely or become ill after birth, the NICU’s consistently high patient satisfaction rates reflect the quality of the multidisciplinary team members, who believe that a baby’s successful journey from critical care to home involves the entire family. The March of Dimes recognized this commitment to “family-centered” care by awarding Franklin Square the first March of Dimes NICU Family Support program in the state of Maryland.
