Prisma Health Baptist Parkridge Hospital adds Level II Nursery to better serve Irmo community

EVENT:       Ribbon cutting for Level II Nursery at Prisma Health Baptist Parkridge Hospital

WHEN:       10 a.m.., Tuesday, Oct. 29, third floor

WHERE:
Prisma Health Baptist Parkridge Hospital, 400 Palmetto Health Pkwy, Columbia, SC 29212

WHY:
Prisma Health Baptist Parkridge Hospital has added a Level II Nursery to better serve the Irmo community. A Level II Special Care Nursery has enhanced capability over a traditional newborn nursery. The addition of the nursery will allow more babies with certain complications to remain at the hospital with their mothers instead of being transferred to another Prisma Health facility.

As part of the Prisma Health system, the Prisma Health Baptist Parkridge Hospital will continue to work closely with the two Columbia-based Level III NICUs at Prisma Health Baptist Hospital and Prisma Health Richland Hospital for any babies that still require a higher level of care.
