Colette Cipriano Special Care Nursery
|
|
|
 The Colette Cipriano Special Care Nursery at CentraState Medical Center provides specialized care for premature babies born after 32 weeks gestation who require oxygen, antibiotics, close observation or other special attention from a team of trained professionals including neonatologists and registered nurses who are NRP (neonatal resuscitation program) certified. This means our facility is equipped and licensed to care for almost any complication that newborns face.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Only the most critically ill newborns need to be transported to an intensive care nursery.
|
|
The Colette Cipriano Special Care Nursery completed a $687,000 expansion from four to eight bassinets in 2005, prompted by a steady increase in deliveries at CentraState —up 50 percent over five years. Twenty percent of all deliveries at CentraState require some form of special care. The Special Care Nursery is named for the daughter of two CentraState obstetrician/gynecologists, Rebecca and Joseph Cipriano.
