NICU Assessment

Holly Rozoff, a registered nurse assigned to Naval Medical Center San Diego's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, checks on an infant, Sept. 15, 2020. The hospital's NICU specializes in the care of sick or premature newborns. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way many facets of health care are conducted, and NMCSD's NICU has adapted some of its techniques and practices to keep both staff and patients safe while delivering the high quality health care patients have come to expect. NMCSD’s mission is to prepare service members to deploy in support of operational forces, deliver high quality health care services and shape the future of military medicine through education, training and research. NMCSD employs more than 6,000 active duty military personnel, civilians and contractors in Southern California to provide patients with world-class care anytime, anywhere.
