We are very rarely asked to attend high-risk deliveries ( 1-2x/month) but will be called emergently if the baby is not responding to initial resuscitation with RN/RT, or if baby needs persistent CPAP etc outside of the delivery room.

- Neonatology support? Hospital is available for phone consults and transfers. The transfer team is dedicated NICU staff who will help further stabilize the baby as-needed before transporting back.
