St. Joseph’s new Level III neonatal ICU expands access to quality neonatology care in the greater Puget Sound region.

CHI Franciscan St. Joseph Medical Center Level-III Neonatal ICU

Location: Tacoma

General contractor: Aldrich + Associates

CHI Franciscan’s St. Joseph Medical Center is home to the largest birth center in Pierce County. More than 4,000 newborns each year take their first breath at St. Joseph — half of all deliveries in the CHI Franciscan system. For some newborns, that first breath isn’t easy; they require priority care from a dedicated team of neonatal specialists and the support of medical facilities specifically designed for the intensive care of premature or critically ill infants. As populations continue to grow, so too does the need for local neonatal care programs. St. Joseph’s new Level III neonatal intensive care unit expands access to quality neonatology care in the greater Puget Sound region. Aldrich + Associates constructed the new 8,600-square-foot neonatal ICU, which is five times larger than the previous facility. The clinic opened in December 2020 to provide the highest level of care for St. Joseph’s most fragile patients and their families.
