Neonatology

A pioneer in neonatal care

The Mildred Stahlman Division of Neonatology at Monroe Carell is ranked one of the top programs in the nation for the care of critically ill newborns and premature babies. We admit more than 1,400 babies to our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) each year.

But our support extends beyond your baby to your family. We encourage you to ask questions and take an active part in caring for your baby in our NICU.

Our neonatologists provide services at Monroe Carell, Maury Regional Medical Center, Tennova Healthcare Clarksville and Jackson-Madison County General Hospital.
