Making More Room for Miracles

The newly expanded NICU at Baptist Medical Center East is now open, offering 30 advanced beds—including 18 private rooms, 6 designed for parents to stay overnight—as part of our commitment to caring for our tiniest and most vulnerable patients. This modern, family-friendly space blends leading-edge technology with comfort-focused design to deliver expert care for premature and critically ill newborns. As the largest NICU between Birmingham and Mobile, we’re proud to offer around-the-clock, specialized therapies in an environment built for healing, bonding and brighter beginnings.
