Midland Memorial Hospital announced Thursday the Neonatal partnership with Pediatrix Medical Group, Covenant Children’s Hospital and Cook Children’s Health Care System.
“The alignment of quality health care organizations combines the services and compassionate care of MMH with the experience, specialty expertise and dedicated physicians to care for our tiniest patients,” said Stephen Bowerman, President of Midland Health.
Bowerman said in a news release that the hospital sees this as a key step in advancing neonatal care to the next level for greater Midland.
“We are excited this venture allows us to expand our valued partnership with Cook Children’s and renew our partnership with Covenant Children’s,” said Dr. Mike Dwyer, market president for Pediatrix Medical Group. “For more than 20 years, we have collaborated to provide the highest quality neonatal care for the most vulnerable infants in West Texas. We look forward to extending these services to Midland to ensure families of critically-ill and preterm babies have access to the specialized care they need.”
The collaboration allows the community to maintain complete confidence in the quality of care for all infants needing NICU services at Midland Memorial Hospital and enhances access to a higher level of care if the need arises.
The partnership will begin September 3, 2022. Patients and families will not see an interruption in care, the release said.
