care for babies born at 32 to 35 weeks’ gestation who have moderate medical issues.

Holly Springs Hospital Level II NICU

01 Challenge

BHDP was tasked with transforming a portion of an existing labor and delivery suite into a fully equipped Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Rex Holly Springs Hospital. This conversion was essential in enabling the hospital to provide specialized care for infants born with moderate health concerns, a service it had not previously been able to offer.

02 Solution

The redesigned NICU now meets all Level II standards, offering advanced care for newborns requiring additional monitoring and medical attention. Key elements of the project included the creation of the Level II patient room (capable of supporting twins within the same room), Level II space, and support elements inside the nursery and the central nurses' station designed to streamline workflows and ensure continuous, high-quality care.
