The UNC Special Infant Care Clinic (SICC) provides a multidisciplinary approach to the developmental follow-up of high-risk infants from birth to 2 years of age. A team of physicians, nurse practitioners, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists provide comprehensive developmental evaluations and link infants to community services such as Early Childhood Intervention. Babies can also receive hearing, feeding and nutrition evaluations.
Babies with the following conditions may qualify to receive care through this clinic: prematurity, low birth weight, congenital anomalies (birth defects), breathing problems, or other high-risk conditions.
This clinic generally meets the second and fourth Thursday of each month. For inquiries and patient appointments, please contact Lori Carter, RN, at 919-843-0956.
Additional information about this clinic is available in the health care professional section of this website. The Center for Maternal and Infant Health provides staff support to this clinic. Our care coordinator, Lori Carter, works with multiple specialists to insure that babies see all of their care providers at this "one stop shopping" visit. She also provides follow up after the visit to insure that families have been given all necessary referrals.
