Mission Statement

Michigan Medicine improves the health of patients, populations and communities through excellence in education, patient care, community service, research and technology development, and through leadership activities in Michigan, nationally and internationally. Our mission is guided by our Strategic Principles and has three critical components: patient care, education and research that together enhance our contribution to society.

The Brandon Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the University of Michigan is a 59‑bed Level IV neonatal center serving our region, state and beyond. We remain one of the state's leading referral centers for premature newborns and infants with complex medical problems, complex surgical problems or unusual anomalies, need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), high‑frequency ventilation, nitric oxide therapy, and whole‑body or selective head cooling for hypothermic neuroprotection.

About 80% of the Newborn ICU admissions are inborn and 20% are transported from our referral region and state. We offer 24/7 neonatal transport services with Newborn ICU RNs as members of the transport team.

Our specialized nursing team members provide quality nursing care to newborns from the acute phase of illness through recovery. A family‑centered approach to care is practiced in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit.

We provide individualized support and education to families during hospitalization and in preparation for discharge. We empower families to participate in decision making for and in the care of their child.
