The NICU expansion added 24 new rooms, bringing the wing's total to 56, allowing staff to care for nearly double the amount of premature babies and their families.
"These rooms will give us more space, but they also give us better space to then care for those patients,” said Dr. John Loyd, chief of neonatology at Dell Children’s Medical Center, in a news release.
