Houston, TX jobs
What we do here changes the world. UTHealth Houston is Texas' resource for healthcare education, innovation, scientific discovery, and excellence in patient care. That's where you come in. The Neonatology Division at McGovern Medical School has been affiliated with Hermann Hospital in providing care for newborns with complex medical and surgical problems since 1970. In August 1999, we moved into new NICU facilities at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital. In April 2008, a new Level 2 unit was opened on the floor above the existing NICU. There are approximately 5,000 deliveries per year at Memorial Hermann Hospital of which 25-30% are high-risk pregnancies. A very active referral service for women with high-risk pregnancies and a very busy neonatal transport system result in a relatively high proportion of VLBW admissions. There are 900-1,000 admissions to the NICU per year; approximately one third are outborn. Our patients benefit from a full spectrum of pediatric medical and surgical subspecialty and transport services available at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital. The UT-Houston neonatologists coordinate antepartum care for high-risk pregnancies with the Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialists at the Medical School. A multidisciplinary Texas Center for Maternal and Fetal Treatment has been established for antepartum evaluation and counseling of pregnancies complicated by congenital anomalies.
