What is a special care nursery? Dr. Charles Harmon, medical director for Mobile Infirmary's nursery, joined WKRG on Take 5 to discuss this advanced care program. 

Infirmary Health has Level II Special Care Nurseries at Mobile Infirmary and Thomas Hospital. This special designation indicates that those nurseries are prepared to care for babies beginning at 32 weeks.
