Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

Premature and critically ill babies need the very best care.  Neonatal ICUs (NICUs) are special nurseries designed to care for these infants. Saint Alphonsus has two state-of-the-art NICUs in the Treasure Valley.

Located in Boise, our Level III NICU, the highest level of neonatal care provided in the state of Idaho, provides 24 hour comprehensive specialty care for preemies as well as the sickest of full-term infants. And Canyon County's first and only NICU, a Level II unit is now situated inside the Birkeland Maternity Center in Nampa. Learn more about our Neonatal Intensive Care Units.
