NICU Follow-Up Clinic

Newborns who’ve had intensive care, heart surgery or other challenges may receive ongoing care in our NICU Follow-Up Clinic. Our experts monitor infants' health and development and provide the care they need to heal, grow and thrive.

About Us

If your baby spent time in Children’s Nebraska's NICU or had heart surgery early on, they may be referred to our NICU Follow-Up Clinic. Our experts monitor developmental progress through age 3, evaluating growth and identifying any concerns. If needed, we refer to the appropriate specialists, including physical, speech and occupational therapists, along with neonatology and developmental pediatrics specialists. Early detection of developmental delays is key to supporting your child’s learning, behavior and overall wellbeing, especially during the first three years when the brain’s connections are most adaptable. If no specialized care is needed, your child can transition to routine pediatric check-ups.
