Construction Central
In May of 2007, Women & Infants broke ground on a five-story addition that will add approximately 140,000 square feet of much-needed space to the Dudley Street facility. The space will include a new, two-story neonatal intensive care unit that gives each family their own private space, and more beds for obstetrical patients.

The new building is scheduled to open next month. Keep track of the progress with any of the links below and check back often for announcements, news and photos related to the project.
Women & Infants Hospital – the ninth busiest maternity hospital in the nation and the only provider of tertiary level neonatal intensive care in the region – outgrew its current location almost before it opened the doors 20 years ago.

Built to accommodate 6,500 births each year, the hospital recorded almost 10,000 births in 2006. Its neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), designed to treat 41 babies at a time, routinely houses as many as 75 babies.
