Clinical Sites: Deaconess Hospital: The Women's Hospital

Kenneth Herrmann, MD Medical Director Newborn Services

Located in the southwest corner of the state, The Women's Hospital provides the third largest delivery service in Indiana. The 74-bed hospital in Newburgh, IN., was the first Indiana hospital to be recognized for service excellence under the J.D. Power and Associates Distinguished Hospital Program. The Women's Hospital (Deaconess)-Riley NICU was the first to provide the Sonicu system that measured both NICU sound and controlled NICU lighting; first to develop and produce a series of educational DVDs for NICU parents; first to develop a webcam service to keep NICU families in continuous visual contact with their infants; and first to implement HeRO technology, designed to identify potential infections before they become clinically apparent.

Within the hospital, the Deaconess-Riley NICU provides a 24-bed level III NICU for infants of all gestational ages. Conventional, HFOV and Jet ventilation are provided. The James Whitcomb Riley Hospital provides surgical services. For more information, see: Deaconess Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care.
