The new Prentice Women's Hospital opened in October 2007. The new facility hospital is expected to offer 13,600 births per year, which would rank it among the top three in the nation. The previous facility featured 10,000 deliveries each year, many involving high-risk pregnancies. The normal-newborn experience and one of the neonatal ICU months in the PL-1 year take place at Prentice.
