                      WOODLAND HEIGHTS MEDICAL CENTER ANNOUNCES NICU TRANSPORT TEAM

                      4/11/2016

                      Lufkin Texas (April 11, 2016) – Woodland Heights Medical Center will soon offer its own transport team for babies needing care in the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Beginning April 18, Woodland Heights will have an ambulance stationed at the facility 24 hours a day, at the ready to pick up babies locally and in the surrounding area that need a higher level of care.

                      “This is one of our growing resources available to serve the needs of our smallest patients who need extra help at a critical time,” states Kyle Swift, CEO of Woodland Heights. “The addition of this transport team proves a commitment to doing what it takes to offer these babies access to care quickly.”

                      Nurses and staff have been through extensive training with medical transport professionals and are prepared to stabilize and transport these babies from local facilities or facilities further within the large deep east Texas region Woodland Heights serves. Previously, a transport team from Houston had to transport infants to the hospital. Now, this service will be offered locally and save precious time in getting these fragile patients the treatment and care they need.

                      This addition is timely as the facility began a $9.8 million construction project last year, part of which will increase the number of NICU beds from 6 to 15, growing the footprint of the unit that opened in 2013. Since then, the physicians and staff in the NICU have cared for more than 200 babies.
