Get to know our NICU!

The American Academy of Pediatrics has designated Children’s Mercy as a Level IV NICU. This is the highest designation available and means babies have access to a full range of more than 400 newborn medicine specialists, highly-trained pediatric nurses and anesthesiologists, and specialized equipment for our tiniest patients. Children’s Mercy is the only hospital between St. Louis and Denver that can provide this level of care.

Every day, we care for more than 80 fragile newborns who are very small, sick, or need surgery have the region’s best experts working every day to help them get stronger. Every type of pediatric subspecialist (doctors who treat a certain system, like baby’s heart, lungs or kidneys) is available on-site.

“So many of our CM patients have their start right here in the NICU, so we are powering their potential by making a difference in the lives of these tiny patients and their families from the very beginning. I am also part of our ECMO team, which is the highest form of life support available. ECMO offers these very special children a second chance to reach their potential.

I feel blessed by the opportunity to support these kiddos and their families on a daily basis by providing intentional, compassionate care.”
