Essentia Health NICU Expansion

Advanced Lighting and Natural Elements Enhance NICU Environment

The Essentia Health NICU expansion in Fargo transitioned from multiple open infant bay wards to a Single-Family Private Room model, enhancing infant and maternal care by reducing stress and improving bonding. The project includes 14 single-family rooms and five twin care rooms with advanced lighting, natural light, family sleeping zones, and 24/7 livestreaming. The NICU also features a Ronald McDonald Family Room with entertainment, dining, and relaxation areas, complemented by nature-inspired finishes to create a calming environment.
