Low Birthweight Infants and Infants with Congenital Anomalies

We are currently adding Neonatologist's to our cadre of Neonatal physicians. We are also "doing a deep dive" into our Vermont Oxford Reports to identify additional quality improvement opportunities. Our current strategic plan identifies quality improvements in all of our core medical/surgical activities of which our ED,crtical care units, and high risk services play a major part.
