Driscoll Neonatal Care Center Ribbon-Cutting

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in March 2023 for Driscoll Children’s Hospital Neonatal Care Center, the first seamlessly integrated Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the city of Corpus Christi.

Operating within CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi – South, Driscoll’s Neonatal Care Center is a 24-bed NICU providing critical medical care for premature, sick, and critically ill infants in the same place where they were born. Moms will no longer have to leave the hospital where they gave birth to be near their medically vulnerable baby.

Built with state-of-the-art equipment, Driscoll’s Neonatal Care Center is an ideal addition to the maternal care offered at CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi – South, itself a Level IV Maternal Care facility. The innovative collaboration provides the highest level of comprehensive care for both mothers and newborns. 

Infants with more complex medical or surgical needs have seamless access to Driscoll’s Level IV NICU, which offers the highest level of care available and is the only Level IV NICU in South Texas. Newborns admitted to any Driscoll NICUs have a dedicated team of specialists to meet their unique healthcare needs.

The opening of the Driscoll Neonatal Care Center is a significant step forward in our promise to bring more care to more kids. Today, those promises to our region have become reality, thanks to our kindhearted supporters. Our friends are positively impacting the lives of children and families throughout our community and beyond. Read more here.
