Memorial Hospital Miramar Nurtures Babies with Specially Designed NICU


An experienced oncologist and hematologist, Dr. Matthew Taub practices at Optimum Oncology Hematology Associates in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Matthew Taub, MD, is a member of the multidisciplinary committee at Memorial Hospital Miramar.

Located in Miramar, Florida, Memorial Hospital Miramar features a family birthing center and a level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with 16 private patient rooms. Memorial Hospital Miramar NICU is equipped to care for neonates born at 28 weeks and later. 

The hospital invited a team of doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, and parents to collaborate on the NICU design, which aims to provide an environment that feels like home. The unit has a special focus on privacy to allow bonding moments that nurture babies. In addition to the latest medical equipment, the NICU features ambient lighting that simulates night and day so babies develop a circadian rhythm that promotes healing and development.
