Excellent Care from the Moment of Birth

The transition from life in the womb to the outside world is an amazing process.  Here in the newborn nursery, we are priviledged  to care for babies as they make this transition and adapt to their new surroundings.  As part of the Johnson Center for Pregnancy and Newborn Services, we specialize in the medical evaluation and care of newborns who are at or near term.

This site is designed to support the educational goals of our pediatric trainees and provide a useful resource for health care professionals worldwide who are caring for newborns. 

If you are an expectant parent looking for information about maternity services at Stanford Hospital, or for health information about pregnant mothers or newborns, please use the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital website.
