Neonatology
The Division of Neonatology in the Department of Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine is dedicated to research, education, quality improvement and advocacy for the care of all critically ill infants.
Patient care is provided through our clinical affiliate, at the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago
We strive to provide exceptional care to families and their infants before birth at the Chicago Institute for Fetal Health, in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and when they go home in our Cardiac and Neonatal Follow-Up Clinic. Our faculty provide cutting-edge treatments by engaging in a wide variety of research to improve the outcomes of all our patients."
