LOCAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL:

Catawba Valley Medical Center:

Catawba is the primary COMMUNITY hospital used by Unifour Pediatrics. Drs. Millsaps, Rheinbolt, Colosimo, and Elliott, as well as our pediatric hospitalists, have full admitting privileges at CVMC, which is located right across the street from our office.

Newborn infants: 
After an infant's birth, Unifour Pediatric pediatricians provide care for newborn infants in the full-term nursery and birthing center area. Usually, full-term newborns go home after 1-2 days, and we then see babies back in the office two days later (sometimes 1 day). If the child has significant problems while in the Catawba Hospital nursery, we may consult the neonatologists, Dr. Berry and associates, who are with with Neonatology and Pediatric Acute Care Specialists, and if deemed necessary, then your infant may be transferred to the NICU, when a full team is available to provide excellent care. The Catawba NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) is excellent in every way, and we have full confidence in the neonatologists, neonatal nurse practitioners, and neonatal nurses there. -DETAILS-

Admission from outside the hospital of older infants, children and teens: 
When a child needs to be hospitalized, Unifour Pediatric clinicians (pediatricians and certified pediatric nurse practitioners, CPNPs) admit the majority of our patients to Catawba Valley Medical Center, again utilizing the excellent pediatric hospitalists, Dr.  David Berry and associates, with Neonatology and Pediatric Acute Care Specialists, and other pediatric hospitalists (not part of Unifour Pediatrics). They provide very high quality hospital pediatric coverage, including inpatient pediatric hospital care, ER consultations, premature and sick newborn care, and back-up full-term nursery care. After discharge, we will receive a report detailing the stay there.. -DETAILS-

No longer at Frye:

All 15 Catawba County general pediatricians (all 3 pediatric groups) have now resigned ALL staff privileges at Frye, and no longer admit infants and  children there, or see them in the Frye ER, or provide care for newborns at Frye. There is no longer a pediatric unit at Frye, or pediatric nurses to cover all shifts, or a dedicated nursery. We regret that all pediatric admissions will no longer go to Frye as an option .... we simply need the full pediatric services and full-time staffing and excellent nursing care available at Catawba Valley Medical Center, or Levine, Brenner's, or elsewhere. Thus, we, as well as all other pediatricians in the county, no longer admissions to Frye. Bottom line - no more admissions at Frye,
