Welcome to the Profession of Nursing

Maternal Child

The Kern Medical Maternal Child nursing staff provides high level care to over 200 moms and babies each month. These patients include some of the highest risk pregnancies in the county. Our medical and nursing staff partner with UCLA, Valley Children’s Hospital, CHLA and Fresno Community Regional hospitals to plan care and initiate referral/transfers for Perinatal and NICU services. Private post partum suites are available to new mothers. Our 28 bedNICUallows our team to care for many of the county’s smallest and sickest neonates. Kern Medical often accepts transfers into our NICU from other local hospitals. We round out Kern Medical’s Maternal Child Services with our Pediatric Department. The Maternal Child nurses at Kern Medical provide loving support to our patients from birth through adolescence.
