At Providence, we know how scary it is to learn that your newborn baby is sick or in need of extra medical attention. In our NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) we do everything humanly and medically possible to help your baby thrive. Our NICU works in partnership with Seattle Children’s Hospital to offer the best intensive care for premature, critically ill or unstable newborns north of Seattle. Our providers deliver complex care, monitoring and feeding for premature and sick newborns. We know how eager you are to bring your new baby home, but know that while they are at Providence, they are getting the best possible care to help them develop, grow and heal.

Listen and Talk is a listening and spoken language service for children who are deaf and hard of hearing. The organization is based in Kirkland Washington and primarily services families in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. Our services include a Birth to Three virtual service program, a Blended Classroom preschool program, on-site listening and spoken language therapist program, and an onsite pediatric audiology program. Our family centered practices empower families to teach their children to listen and communicate with the support of advanced hearing technology such as cochlear implants and hearing aids.
