Hi, I am Carey Ehlert. I am a neonatologist at
the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin
and I'm assistant professor of
pediatrics at the Medical College of
Wisconsin.
The Neonatology Program at
Children's Hospital of Wisconsin
is far and away the most
specialized,
the most advanced and the most capable, I
think, of taking care
of the state and the region's sickest and
most complicated babies.
We're the only hospital with in-house,
ready available
access to any pediatric subspecialists
that we may need
to provide the type of specialized care
that our infants often require.
Working very closely with Froedtert 
Hospital as our delivery hospital,
our infants are brought immediately to our
Newborn Intensive Care Unit
without having to be transferred from an
outside hospital. But for those
babies who do require transport from an
outside hospital, we have a transport
team
that is specialized specifically in how to
transport our
tiniest, youngest and most fragile
patients. Our commitment to care
is around the clock. We have a neonatologist present in the hospital
24 hours a day,
seven days a week, 365 days a year. We get to know our families very well
and we do our best to support these
families through what can be a very
difficult time.
Not only are the medical providers
working hard to provide the best medical
care, 
the family is as much a part of our care
team as the providers.
We work very hard to include our
families in our daily care rounds
because we really see the family
as one of the primary care providers as
well.
Here at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin we can take care of it all.
We have premature infants that we are
able to take care of from the limited
viability
on up, and we are also able to take care
a full-term babies that might have
specialized birth defects that require
the
medical professionals that are only
found at Children's Hospital of
Wisconsin.
And we can take care of these babies
from admission to discharge. I
can't imagine doing anything else with my
life.
I get to look and coo and cuddle
and see the sweetest things
every day. Being able to reassure a
family that things are going to be okay
and being able to help a family through
when things aren't, 
there's no greater reward.
