North Suburban Medical Center

September is #NICUAwarenessMonth! #NICU stands for neonatal intensive care unit. In these hospital units, caregivers support babies born prematurely or with certain medical conditions. Let's celebrate our amazing NICU caregivers who work with our tiniest patients! HealthONE is proud to be part of our broader network — HCA Healthcare — one of the nation's leading network for delivering babies. Last year alone, our hospitals welcomed more than 212,000 newborns. As partners of March of Dimes, we are dedicated to advocating for the health of all moms and babies. #ImproveMoreLives #NICUAwareness

In case you missed it, we had another first in Colorado … Our Cardiac Catheterization Lab Team, alongside Drs. Ehrin Armstrong and Behzad Molavi, two of our interventional cardiologists, recently performed a state-of-the-art procedure that inserts a stent, designed to keep arteries open and deliver a drug to support vessel healing prior to completely dissolving. Thank you to the entire team that made this possible! The patient had an excellent outcome and is now living with less pain.
