Family-Centered Care
Hamilton believes in family-centered care and offers a
unique open door NICU policy that allows parents to
visit their baby almost any time, day or night. Hamilton’s
NICU is the only NICU between Atlanta and Nashville that
allows parents to spend the night in the NICU with their child.
Typically, the last night of an infant’s stay in the NICU is
spent in the parent care room to simulate a typical night
at home. On this night, care is provided by the parents.
Specially-trained nurses and neonatologists are on hand
if needed.
