Case Study: Sustainable Flooring Put to the Test at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital
Nicklaus Children’s Hospital’s Fetal Care Center opened the doors to its special delivery unit for high-risk infants on June 3, 2019. This specialized birthing unit in Coral Terrace, Florida, is one of only a few in the entire United States that serves healthy mothers expecting to deliver babies with severe pre-diagnosed health issues such as heart defects, neurological conditions, craniofacial anomalies, and other conditions that require immediate pediatric care once they are born. The new unit allows families to stay together from birth through the infant’s care.
As a teaching hospital ranked amongst the best children’s hospitals in the nation by US News & World Report, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital is a level 1 pediatric trauma center committed to delivering the highest quality care to the children and families they serve. The quality care commitment meant that before building the Center, its executives would visit every fetal care center in the country to learn what was working for them and what wasn’t.
