NICU and PICU Expansion Initiative
UVA Health Children’s is Virginia’s leading provider of neonatal and pediatric intensive care and a top referral center for pediatric traumas, cardiac cases, critical care, and complex surgeries across the Southeast. Growing demand for our acclaimed neonatal and pediatric intensive care units (NICU and PICU) means we are nearly always at capacity.
UVA Health Children's is expanding and enhancing our NICU and PICU to care for more critically ill children across Virginia and beyond. Proceeds from this year’s Gala will support this vital effort.
