Our well-established multidisciplinary team enables the support of Newborn HITH and Home Enteral Nutrition to be offered to our families on discharge. The Neonatal Unit is an integral part of the Eastern Health Women & Children's program, and we work closely with our Maternity colleagues across both Angliss and Box Hill sites.
