Southern Hills Hospital on Friday became the state's newest Level II nursery, after completing a six-month certification process.
The designation, certified by the state Health Department, allows the hospital to treat premature infants suffering from complications including breathing difficulties, low blood sugar and heart murmurs. The hospital has also stepped up access to physicians, providing neonatologists 24 hours a day, according to a Southern Hills statement.
The hospital, located near West Sunset Road and Interstate 215, opened last year and houses an emergency room, diagnostic imaging and surgical services.
