The Division of Neonatology and Newborn Nursery promotes the health and well-being of newborns, whether they are critically ill, premature, or simply in need of special observation. The program works collaboratively with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine to assure a successful transition from the intrauterine environment. The division's mission includes education of trainees, opportunities for continuing education, and advancing the field through basic, clinical, and translational research.

Its close partners include the UW Health Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment Center, whose experts care for unborn babies with fetal conditions during pregnancy, and Pediatric Cardiology, whose experts specialize in treating infants with complex congenital heart disease. The division participates in the Vermont Oxford Network, Children's Hospital Neonatal Consortium, and the Wisconsin Association for Perinatal Care, further demonstrating the division's dedication to collaboration and continuous improvement in neonatal care.

The Department of Pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health is a vibrant academic department comprising more than 200 faculty members in 16 subspecialty divisions.
