Pediatric Interim Care Center, The
Newborn Nursery, (PICC) is a one-of-a-kind, model program that
provides specialized, 24-hour care for drug-exposed and medically
fragile newborns. PICC brings babies safely through withdrawal from
drugs, including heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines, methadone, and
prescription drugs. The pioneering program also facilitates
visitation for families, provides caregiver training, follows the
babies after they leave, and offers a range of community outreach
and education services. PICC is in Kent, Washington, 20 miles
southeast of Seattle and is the only 24-hour care center serving
drug-exposed infants throughout Washington State.
