UTMB Health’s Galveston Campus is a Level IV Neonatal Facility. The Level 4 Neonatal Facility Designation reflects the facility’s documented capabilities and history of providing a specific level of care to infants. Hospitals with this designation are able to care for infants born earlier than 32 weeks gestation and weighing less than 1,500 grams. Level IV-designated facilities must also be able to provide life support, perform advanced imaging including MRI and echocardiography, and provide a full range of respiratory support, among may other criteria. Level IV NICUs provide the highest, most acute level of care. There are 227 Designated Neonatal Facilities across the state of Texas, with 22 designated as Level IV.
