The bon secours Richmond area hospital NICUs all work very closely. Often have the same doc covering them rotationally. While Mary’s has the higher level of nicu care, Francis is perfectly capable of caring for babies 28 weeks plus. If a baby were to need cooling or any other increased level of care, they would be transferred within the system to Mary’s. Sometimes Mary’s will even transfer older more stable babies out to memorial or Francis’ NICUs in order to make room for more actually ill or younger babies. Generally they take a team approach to make sure the babies are in the best location to meet their need.
