The NICU will provide expert, round-the-clock care for the very small and premature newborns needing extra monitoring, treatment and care. This room is specially equipped with negative air pressure to ensure no airborne particles leave the room to help prevent infection in hospital staff and parents.

In addition, each room will be outfitted with the latest lifesaving equipment, and actively engage families in the daily care of their tiny newborns. It will also include space for breastfeeding and skin-to-skin care, which according to the Canadian Premature Babies Foundation can have many benefits including helping babies gain weight and develop healthy brains, and mothers produce more milk and reduce the risk of postpartum depression.
