Bringing a new baby into the world is a big moment. At AnMed in Anderson, South Carolina, we’re here to help make that experience as smooth and safe as possible.

Is premature (but is born after at least 32 weeks gestation and weighs at least 3.3 pounds)
Has a moderate health concern that will likely improve soon
Needs help breathing for up to 24 hours
Requires specialty care from a neonatologist while your baby is in Level II nursery care.

Pediatric Care for Your Baby

If you weren’t able to choose a doctor for your baby before delivery, we’ll help you make an appointment for your newborn’s first checkup before you go home. A pediatrician or family doctor will check your baby’s development, answer your questions, and offer vaccinations for protection against infectious diseases. Bring your child to the doctor regularly to set the foundation for lifelong wellness.
