Story
St. Luke's is the only Level III Maternal and Neonatal Center as determined by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in the Cedar Rapids' area. Other hospitals transfer newborns to St. Luke's when they need specialized care.
Our NICU team includes the area's most experienced neonatologists and staff. In addition, St. Luke's ranks among the best hospitals in the world in providing NICU care for very low birth weight babies (babies born weighing less than 3 lbs. 5oz.). Except in very rare occasions, such as surgical emergencies, your baby should NEVER have to be transferred out of Cedar Rapids. We do accept transfers from Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids. See why St. Luke's is the better choice.
