Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a Level 3 NICU with a 49‑bed unit for newborns born prematurely, requiring specialized treatment, or who are ill. An in‑house neonatologist is available around the clock to provide the most advanced evidence‑based care for our tiniest population. Babies in the NICU are cared for in state‑of‑the‑art Giraffe Omni Beds —specialized isolettes and infant warmers all in one, reducing stress on the baby.

We care for infants from approximately 23 weeks gestation to post‑term age.

We have a neonatal transport team that brings infants with serious illnesses, injuries, or complications to Renown Children's Hospital from outlying communities within a 200‑mile radius of Reno. Ambulances and planes with neonatal care equipment take the team to rural areas to begin treatment and bring the child to the safety and comfort of Renown's NICU.
