Your newborn will receive remarkable care at Rowan Medical Center’s nursery, where we have a neonatal nurse practitioner onsite 24/7. If your baby needs a higher level of care than we offer on site, we have access to the vital intensive care your newborn needs.

We are supported by the level IV NICUs — the highest level of care available for premature or critically ill newborns — at Novant Health Hemby Children's Hospital in Charlotte (located at Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center) as well as at Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem.
