Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of its Kim and Steven Ullman Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

The Henry Mayo NICU opened in June 2012 and since then has provided care for over 1,500 babies in and around the Santa Clarita Valley.

The president of the Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital Foundation and Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, Marlee Lauffer took the time to reflect on how the NICU has changed the health care provider in a positive way.

“Thanks to the generosity of the Ullman Family, for the last 10 years we’ve been able to provide top-notch care to the SCV’s tiniest patients here at Henry Mayo,” said Lauffer.

When the NICU opened, it added 11 beds and provided easier access to Santa Clarita’s infants, which was a “much-needed” service, according to Lauffer.

“It’s reassuring to expectant mothers to know there is a state-of-the-art neonatal intensive care unit here at Henry Mayo should they need one for their babies,” said Lori Matzner, Henry Mayo’s director for Maternal and Child Health Services. “It’s very rewarding to care for these babies and then watch them go home with their happy families.”
