Provena Mercy Medical Center Receives Re-designation as a Level II with Extended Neonatal
Provena Mercy Medical Center was recently re-designated as a Level II with Extended Neonatal Capabilities Perinatal facility by the Illinois Department of Public Health. This means that the highly skilled clinicians in the Family Birth Center have the expertise and medical equipment to provide more complex care to high risk mothers and infants including those as young as 10 weeks premature. Additionally, as a designated Level II plus facility, Provena Mercy Medical Center has a Special Care Nursery that includes a team of specially trained neonatologists who are readily available to treat newborns who require a higher level of care.
The Illinois Health department of Public Health distinguishes between three levels of Perinatal Care: level 1 or general care, level 2 or intermediate care, level 2 with extended capabilities and level 3 or intensive care. In order to determine which level of care a Perinatal Center falls under, facilities are evaluated under strict criteria which include: access to equipment and facilities, availability of specialists, and the complexity of patients served.
“This designation gives our patients the assurance that exceptional care is readily available and close to home,” said Naideen Galek, APN and Clinical Nurse Specialist for Women and Children’s Services. “Having a baby is one of the most important and joyous moments in life. We’re proud to offer our moms the peace of mind in knowing that they are receiving personalized, high-quality care so they can focus their time on enjoying this memorable occasion .“
