Some babies need a little extra help getting started in life. Please take comfort in knowing the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Hunt Regional Medical Center offers the highest level of care provided by our team of neonatologists. Our NICU provides advanced services and technologies for the newest member of your family and specialized care during high-risk pregnancies.

Babies born prematurely or who suffer an illness can remain in Greenville, Texas, rather than be transferred to other hospitals to receive life-saving care. This is important because it means parents can interact with their babies throughout their hospital stay without traveling back and forth.

The NICU at Hunt Regional Medical Center is also part of the Baby Friendly Initiative, a global effort by the best hospitals to help mothers breastfeed babies for the optimum start in life. The highest level of medical care is essential. But so is your family. Babies do best surrounded by those who love them. At our NICU, your family is a priority. We want you to be comfortable and cared for, too.

Our specially trained team transports the smallest and sickest infants from area hospitals to the Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Maternity Center. Hunt Regional Medical Center’s NICU is the area’s only provider of Level III neonatal services and provides 24/7 coverage by a board-certified neonatologist.

The NICU transport team is a specialty unit that provides interfacility ambulance transportation for babies. The team of specialists then transports sick babies from regional hospitals back to Hunt Regional where they can receive a higher level of care.
