Dr. Nadine SegerPhysician Champion2021 Billings Clinic Classic

Your gifts will greatly improve our patient and family

experience…

The Billings Clinic Classic returns this year with a raffle, silent auction and seven golf

events. Your participation and support of the 2021 Classic will support a $3.5 million

capital campaign for the construction of a new family centered, state-of-the-art Neonatal

Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Billings Clinic. The Billings Clinic NICU opened 22 years ago,

and since then technology and the delivery of care have changed dramatically. One of

the biggest changes over the years has been the increasing integration of families into

the care of their babies. There is evidence that parents are critically important to a baby’s

wellbeing while in the NICU, and when they are present, the outcomes are improved,

costs are reduced, and there is greater parent and staff satisfaction. The infants cared for

today are more unstable and critically ill than in the past. The smallest among them stay

for an average of 90 to 100 days, and 25 percent of the babies come to Billings Clinic

through the transport of its highly trained MedFlight team.

The most common reasons babies are admitted to the NICU include premature birth,

respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, and neonatal abstinence syndrome, which is when a

baby is withdrawing from certain drugs they were exposed to in the womb prior to birth.

The specially trained staff at Billings Clinic’s NICU, on-site 24 hours a day, includes four

neonatologists, neonatal nurses, pediatric specialists, occupational therapists, physical

therapists, pharmacist, lactation consultants, and respiratory therapists.

In its current configuration, care areas are stationed in open bays with curtains without

internal walls and doors, which makes noise very difficult to control. Privacy during this

challenging time for families is minimal, and there is no natural light given the NICU’s

current location in the center of the Family Birth Center. Supplies and equipment are

often stored away from the NICU, as there is not adequate storage space in the unit. This

lack of space has the greatest impact on the parents, making it difficult to comfortably

stay with their sick child and requiring them to leave the unit to use the restroom or get a

drink of water.

Your gifts will help to create a greatly improved patient and family experience, bring

in natural lighting to promote healing, enhance patient and family privacy, create

dedicated family space for overnight stays with a private restroom, outfit the NICU

with updated technology and equipment, and build dedicated space for supplies

and equipment.

With sincere gratitude,

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS

2021 CLASSIC2021 CLASSIC2021 CLASSIC BENEFITING A STATE-OF-THE-ART NICU

Our babies in intensive care and their families need your support.

Our Current nicu

Neonatology services are more sophisticated than ever before. We are in desperate need

of a redefined space to match the world class care provided by our team to

the tiniest of patients, while allowing for the best

family experience.

Our NICU opened 22 years ago, and since then, technology and the delivery of care have changed dramatically. One of the biggest changes over the years has been the increasing integration of families into the care of their babies. There is evidence that parents are the “active ingredient” and when they are present, the outcomes are improved, costs are reduced and there is greater parent and staff satisfaction.

The infants we are caring for are more unstable and critically ill than in the past. The smallest among them stay on average 90 to 100 days, with 25% of the babies coming to Billings Clinic through the transport of our highly trained MedFlight Team. The top reasons the babies are admitted to the NICU include premature birth, respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, and neonatal abstinence syndrome which is when a baby is withdrawing from certain drugs they were exposed to in the womb prior to birth. Our specially-trained staff, on site 24 hours a day, includes 4 neonatologists, neonatal nurses, pediatric specialists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, pharmacist, lactation consultants, and respiratory therapists.

The need for a new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Benefits of a new NICU

WHAT COULD BE*… WITH YOUR HELP

In our current configuration, isolettes are stationed in open bays with curtains, and the absence of internal walls and doors make noise very difficult to control. Privacy during this challenging time for families is non-existent, and there is no natural light given the NICU’s current location in the center of the Family Birth Center. Supplies and equipment are often stored three floors below, as there is not adequate storage space in the unit. The lack of space has the greatest impact on the parents. Imagine not having the ability to comfortably stay with your incredibly sick baby and having to leave the unit to use the restroom or get a drink of water.

• Improved patient and family experience

• Natural lighting to promote healing

• Privacy

• Dedicated family space for overnight stays

• Private restroom• Updated technology

and equipment• Dedicated space for

supplies and equipment
