​​​​​​​​​​​​​Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

The Atrium Health Floyd Medical Center Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) provides advanced care for babies with severe or potentially life-threatening conditions. 

Through a family-centered environment, our NICU staff works together with parents to offer the best care for babies who need specialized care after birth.

As a Level III NICU, we provide babies with specialized care, including breathing support, food and nutrition, and temperature support and regulation. When needed, Atrium Health Floyd's Neonatal Transport Team stands ready 24/7 to transport babies to our Level III NICU.

Staying Connected​​​

Angel Eye Camera Floyd NICU

​Our AngelEye camera system allows parents to check ​on their babies when they can't visit the NICU in person. ​​

The software works with a cellphone, laptop or ​notebook, and is secure.

The program also allows you to receive information about your baby's health and provides education tips so you feel confident when you take your little one home.​

​Going Home 

Our dedicated discharge planning coordinator works with each family to ensure the transition to home is a success. The planning for discharge begins when a baby is admitted. The process gradually prepares the family to care for the baby at home. Generally, babies in the NICU can go home when they:

  • Maintain their body temperature in a bassinet
  • Breathe on their own
  • Nurse or feed from a bottle
  • Consistently gain weight
  • Are in stable medical condition

As the time to go home approaches, it is very important for the family to feel confident in caring for the baby. Nurses will work closely with each family to ensure they are prepared to go home. Our discharge plan includes:

  • Education
  • CPR training
  • Follow-up appointment scheduling
  • Safety (proper car seat use, SIDS prevention, etc.)
