If your baby arrives prematurely or experiences difficulties adjusting after birth, you can rest a little easier knowing he or she will receive the best possible care in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. University Hospital offers a Level IV (highest level) NICU in South Texas.
If you cannot be with your baby in the NICU because you live outside San Antonio and cannot travel to the hospital frequently, you may be able to take advantage of our unique Angel Eye system. Angel Eye lets you interact with your baby in real time through a high-quality camera and secure, online interface.
We also offer Baby Chat for mothers recovering after delivery who can’t get to the NICU. This technology allows you to see and hear your infant by using an iPad. We help you feel like you’re at the NICU bedside even when you can’t be there in person.
