SAN DIEGO Calif. (Aug. 14, 2009) Shown is a mock set up of the new pod design in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD). The NICU hosted an open house to show case the wards expansion in space and technology. The renovation project provided upgrades such as ceiling tiles and laminate floor that absorb sound for noise reduction and a central monitoring system at the nurse's station, which helps the staff easily distinguish which baby needs attention. This is the first significant renovation of the NICU since it opened in 1988. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jake Berenguer/Released)
