For a preemie, even the ordinary can be complicated, but Northside Hospital Forsyth aimed to create a NICU armed for any situation. When it opened in 2008, there were 20 staff members. Today, it has 80, a menagerie of doctors and specialists and technicians and therapists. One wing of the NICU is devoted to preparing milk for babies with individualized “recipes.”
