Jewish General Hospital announced that its Karen & Murray Dalfen Neonatal Intensive Care Unit has been designated a Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit, making it one of six such units in Quebec.

The unit, operating within the Jewish General Hospital University Health Centre, provides care for approximately 550 critically ill and premature newborns.

The new designation expands the province’s capacity to treat its most vulnerable newborns, bringing the total number of Level 3 NICUs in Quebec to six.
