Resources on Hospital Perinatal Levels

The descriptions of neonatal levels on the Hospital Neonatal Levels Directory were approved by the Alabama State Committee of Public Health in 2016 and were based on guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics at that time.

Alabama Perinatal Regionalization System Guidelines (Neonatal Levels)

There are also regional referral centers in each of the five perinatal regions in the state. These Level III or Level IV NICUs accept transfers from their referral region and often can assist with transfer transportation. See also: Perinatal Regions Map.
