Safety is our top priority for you and your baby’s care.

Babies born at The Birthplace at Ridges Hospital have immediate access to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) if needed. Our NICU provides expert care for babies as young as 28 weeks gestation, staffed 24/7 by a dedicated team of Neonatal Nurse Practitioners and University of Minnesota Neonatologists.

If your baby should require a higher level of care our health system includes a Level IV NICU, the highest level of NICU care, located at Masonic Children’s Hospital.

If your pregnancy is medically complicated, you are expecting multiple babies, or require a closer oversight during and after pregnancy, M Health Fairview has Maternal Fetal Medicine Centers located in Minneapolis, Edina, Maplewood, and Burnsville. Our providers specialize in high risk, medically complicated pregnancies, and partner with your primary prenatal care provider to create treatment plans to keep you and your baby safe before, during, and after delivery.

We look forward to providing an exceptional experience during your unique birth as you welcome your newest family member.
