Northern Neonatal Follow-Up Clinic

The Northern Neonatal Follow-Up Clinic (NNFC) assesses high-risk children from intensive care units across Northern Alberta for neurodevelopmental issues (conditions that affect the development of the nervous system). Healthcare experts assess the progress of newborns at risk and offer early help when needed.

Cares for babies from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), offering:

  • help with developmental issues that could cause disabilities
  • referral to community services, if needed
  • first appointment usually at 6 months adjusted age
  • more appointments, if needed
  • follow-up until toddler or preschool age. If more help is needed later, referral to other Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital program or community program
