When complications arise during your pregnancy or delivery that impact
your baby’s healthy, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center’
High Risk Infant Development Clinic is by your side. Our caring, experienced
physicians and nurses monitor your child’s development from the
time he or she goes home from the NICU until
their third birthday.
At each visit, your child will see a team of experts dedicated exclusively
to high-risk infants and their families. Team members provide testing
and evaluations that measure your child’s progress toward developmental
milestones. If any concerns are identified, we’ll recommend that
your child be referred to a special doctor or service.
We also provide support and education to parents for each child’s
unique physical, emotional and nutritional needs.
Early Care Provides Lifelong Benefits
Although most infants discharged from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
grow and develop
normally, many are at an increased risk for neurologic and developmental
complications. Research suggests that early diagnosis and treatment can
help these babies overcome any challenges from being born too early, too
small or with various medical conditions.
The High Risk Infant Development Clinic team at Pomona Valley Hospital
Medical Center assesses and identifies areas of concern, and makes recommendations
for treatments, so your baby can grow and develop to the best of his or
her ability. Our program is a California Children’s Services (CCS)
approved Special Care Center. This means a specially trained and certified
team of professionals coordinates and manages all aspects of your child’s care.
PVHMC is one of the only hospitals in the region to provide comprehensive
care for children who need follow-up after a stay in the NICU. In fact,
many other hospitals refer parents to us when an infant is at risk for
developmental delays.
