Georgia Senate commends Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center's Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for providing care to premature and medically complex newborns

NICU is staffed by neonatologists, neonatal nurses, respiratory therapists, and pediatric specialists providing advanced respiratory support, continuous monitoring, and life-saving interventions

Approximately 10% of U.S. babies are born before 37 weeks of gestation, and survival rates for infants born between 22-28 weeks have increased to nearly 78%

Secretary of the Senate is directed to provide a copy of the resolution to the Wellstar Kennestone NICU
