Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Developed and operated in collaboration with Children's Minnesota, Ridgeview’s enhanced Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) expands its care for the most fragile of infants, as young as 30 weeks gestational age. We offer the high-quality, family-centered care patients have come to expect from Ridgeview and Children’s Minnesota — in a setting close to home.

Live Cribside Video Streaming
It's difficult for parents to be separated from a newborn with extra health concerns that require specialized care in the NICU. To bring comfort to families, cribside NicView® cameras provide live video streaming on a smartphone, tablet or any device with internet connection. NicView® allows families to see their infant in real-time through a secure, online portal. This service means parents can bond with their new baby, even when they can't be together.
