Wynn Hospital Sammon Family Birthing Center and NICU

Our Sammon Family Birthing Center at Wynn Hospital offers pregnant women and their families all the necessary services needed, including labor and delivery, a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), postpartum care, breastfeeding classes and pediatric services.

Here’s some interesting facts about the Wynn Hospital Sammon Family Birthing Center and NICU:

• Welcoming more than 1,300 newborns every year, our Maternal Child Services team is there for our patients from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond. Take a virtual tour of the Sammon Family Birthing Center!

  • The NICU is able to care for patients from 30 weeks up to full term gestation.
  • Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals at MVHS helps fund equipment and services in the NICU.
