Each year our inpatient facilities provide the setting for more than 9,000 deliveries and more than 1,500 admissions to our intensive care units. We are a regional referral center for complex neurological conditions throughout the state of Georgia. Among our large referral center facilities, we annually care for a large number of infants with neurologic and neurosurgical conditions including including hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, seizures, intraventricular hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, stroke, and vein of Galen malformations. Additionally, we see more than 1,200 patients each year in our high-risk follow-up clinics.
The clinical care we provide is enhanced by our attention to two other important missions, education and research. Education is the impetus that drives successful academic goals, and to this end, we teach and mentor a variety of trainees, including medical students, residents, neonatal fellows, and students in our neonatal nurse practitioner program. The discovery of new knowledge through research is the means by which our care continually improves. Our research allows us to better understand the basic foundations of biological processes and translate these findings to improvement in patient care.
