A pediatric health provider in Minnesota has introduced modern neonatal care, thanks to virtual technology. The neonatal virtual care by the Children’s Minnesota Level IV hospital has partnered with 6 hospitals in Wisconsin and Minnesota to provide quality healthcare for all paediatrics in the area. Recently the hospital’s neonatal program at the hospital was ranked among the leading in the US in a survey carried out by the US News and World Report. With the neonatal virtual care, physicians in the region will enjoy close partnerships, enjoy 24 hr. access to the hospital’s expertise as designed and termed the best by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
“Expert specialized care should be available to all newborns, regardless of where they’re born,” said Dr Mark Bergeron, director of special care nurseries and neonatal virtual care at Children’s Minnesota. “These partnerships bring us one step closer to that reality and help us achieve our vision of being every family’s essential partner in raising healthier kids by allowing us to provide our expertise to patients and families we couldn’t otherwise reach.”
Among the top hospitals that the pediatric health provider will partner with includes
· Regina Medical Center in Hastings Minnesota

“We are proud of our strong partnership with Children’s Minnesota,” said Dr. Lisa Saul, perinatologist and president of the Mother-Baby clinical service line at Allina Health. Lisa added that by enabling specialists at the facilities to see the baby and connect with them virtually, will enhance healthcare delivery to the patients even closer to their homes.
Virtual technology in the healthcare system is transforming the way physicians and doctors collaborate. It allows them to put their expertise into practice allowing them to enjoy the best healthcare, closer to home. From virtual consultations to the monitoring of the newborns, the doctors can do everything remotely. They can also determine if a newborn is in the best state or needs advanced care at a health facility.
