64 JAN / FEB 2021  I  HEALTHCARE JOURNAL OF BATON ROUGE   Hospital Rounds detailed pediatric specialty care,” said Trey Dun- bar, MD, a neonatologist and president of Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Health. “A significant focus area for us centers on treating critically ill children of all ages, including newborns. Bring- ing NICU will impact critical care services for chil- dren across Louisiana.” The Children’s Hospital NICU will have neona- tologists, neonatal nurses, and respiratory thera- pists staffing the unit. The NICU team will be led by Elizabeth Lindsay, MD. Dr. Lindsay received her medical degree from the University of Texas – Houston Medical School. She completed a pedi- atric residency and a Fellowship in neonatology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nash- ville, Tennessee. She is Board Certified in pedi- atrics and neonatal-perinatal medicine and has more than 15 years’ experience in caring for criti- cally ill newborns. Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital will not have a delivery center and instead most babies will be transported from across the region via the Pediatric Transport Team. Fully equipped with a specialized transport sled, the team has the capability to transport the most critically ill infants including those needing high frequency ventila- tion, whole body cooling, and inhaled nitric oxide. “We are deeply grateful to the Thomas family for their transformative investment in Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital,” said Ann Marie Marmande, president of Our Lady of the Lake Foundation. “As the first programmatic naming since opening the hospital, the family’s donation will grow the depth of care through immediate advancements and provide lasting resources to ensure the highest level of quality over time.” n Each NICU room provides a spacious, private environment for patients and parents. The Center also has a dedicated, spacious sibling room for families who need it. Multiple windows provide a direct line of sight for our speciality care team while allowing for private family bonding.
