The unit features 24 private rooms for mothers and their babies, in which four rooms are specifically designed to accommodate twins. The NICU also features a Family Retreat Area with a fireplace, kitchenette, private bath and lockers, creating a comfortable and spacious place for families to feel as close to home as possible.
