Department of Neonatology

About the Department of Neonatology

The Department of Neonatology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) provides comprehensive medical oversight for all infants born at the hospital, ensuring that each newborn receives the safest and most effective care from the moment of birth. Our team specializes in the care of high-risk and critically ill infants, offering advanced treatments such as high-frequency ventilation, respiratory support and nutritional management.

In addition to neonatal intensive and intermediate care, we coordinate a full range of pediatric subspecialty services tailored to meet each infant’s unique needs. Our neonatologists work closely with obstetricians, nurses and other specialists to deliver family-centered, evidence-based care, supporting both short-term recovery and long-term developmental outcomes for our youngest patients.

The Department of Neonatology is also committed to developing the next generation of neonatology and perinatology specialists and engaging in research to improve the quality of care.
