Level II NICU
Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) that takes care of moderately ill or recuperating infants who are over their acute phase of illness. Babies treated in a Level III NICU are sometimes transported to a Level II NICU for further care, if the location is more convenient for the parents.

This is Children's Glossary of Medical Terms - and much more. You'll find the basic definitions and, for many medical subjects, a larger medical context written by an experienced Children's pediatrician. All the definitions are in an easy-to-print format.
