Neonatal Continuing Care Program

The Neonatal Continuing Care Program (NCCP) provides follow-up care for babies who have been in the Neontal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

The program is made up of two components:

The Neonatal Continuing Care Program is a joint project of the Golisano Children's Hospital at Strong, Division of Neonatology, the Strong Center for Developmental Disabilities, and the Regional Early Childhood Direction Center.

If you have any questions about the Neonatal Continuing Care Program (NCCP), please feel free to discuss them with any member of our program staff:

  • These charts are intended to provide parents with historical information on all NICU graduates and on those evaluated in the Neonatal Continuing Care Clinic (NCCC).  The babies followed up in the NCCC are those who have been identified as being at highest risk for developmental delays and constitute about 25% of all NICU graduates.  As you can see from the graphs, most of the infants at highest risk are developing very well. 

    Chart 1 and Chart 2 show the percentages of all NICU graduates who have neurological or cognitive differences.

    Chart 3 and Chart 4 show the percentage of NICU graduates who meet the criteria for close follow up in the NCCC and the percentage of that subgroup who receive early intervention.

    Chart 5 and Chart 6 identify the percentage of the subgroup of NICU graduates actually evaluated in NCCC and found to have neurological or cognitive differences.
