PHOENIX — Phoenix Children’s Hospital is teaming up with one of the state’s largest health care providers to expand neonatal care across the Valley.

The children’s hospital is collaborating with three HonorHealth hospitals to provide a higher level of care for newborns, according to a Monday Phoenix Children’s Hospital announcement.

Physicians from PCH’s division of neonatology will provide care at HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea, HonorHealth Mountain Vista and HonorHealth Sonoran Crossing hospitals.

“This collaboration with the stellar labor and delivery and neonatology teams at HonorHealth allows us to bring the expert pediatric care families rely on from Phoenix Children’s to more patient families than ever before,” PCH’s division chief of neonatology Dr. Gregg Martin said in a statement.

How will Phoenix Children’s Hospital expand neonatal care?

Families and newborns will have access to PCH resources, pediatric support and consultations with more than 75 pediatric subspecialties.

Mothers with high-risk pregnancies and deliveries can receive care through Phoenix Children’s Center for Fetal and Neonatal Care.

The HonorHealth collaboration brings the number of Valley hospitals staffed with PCH doctors to seven locations.

Last year PCH, was ranked the third best children’s hospital in the southwest.

“Our alliance underscores a shared commitment to providing the highest level of neonatal care and exceptional service to our tiniest patients and their families while they’re with us at HonorHealth and into the future,” HonorHealth neonatal and pediatrics senior clinical director Mary Luster said.
