Our established neonatal practice includes over 50 neonatologists and over 100 APRNs and serves 15 hospitals across four leading hospital systems throughout Houston and the surrounding area.

• NNPs in our practice typically provide 24-hour in-house coverage. However, some of our sites offer 12-72 hour shifts to support work-life balance.
• Each NNP has a home hospital and is part of a core team but must be willing to occasionally rotate through at least one additional hospital within the practice.
• NNPs and neonatologists work collaboratively in providing comprehensive neonatal care from the delivery room through discharge at multiple Level II and III NICUs, including several tertiary high-risk delivery hospitals and one Level IV hospital (The Woman’s Hospital of Texas).

Our ECMO, therapeutic hypothermia, BPD/micro-preemie programs, and a full range of ventilation therapies, including HFOV and HFJV, provide an excellent opportunity for professional growth for both experienced practitioners and new graduates. Our NNPs are also a part of an NNP-led air and ground transport team. Transport duties are not required.
• A full complement of pediatric subspecialists supports our practice, including pediatric surgery, cardiology, hematology, plastic surgery, orthopedics, urology, and nephrology. Additionally, our robust high-risk perinatal navigation program and multiple MFM practices provide support and continuity of care for high-risk mothers and their infants.
• NNPs are supported by a strong, NNP-led Leadership team
• Our NNPs are actively involved in research, collaborative quality improvement activities, and developing and implementing new protocols.
• The practice participates in the VON network, and our NIH and industry funded research program is involved in multiple active clinical trials and multi-site collaborations, including The Tiny Baby Collaborative.
