It is also the heart of NuHealth – a Long Island-based health system committed to delivering coordinated medical care and disease and lifestyle management to everyone, at every stage of life.

A native of India, Dr. Verma graduated with her medical degree from the Lalit Narayan Mithila University in 1973. Upon relocating to the United States, she completed her residency in pediatrics and her fellowship in neonatal-perinatal medicine at the SUNY Upstate Medical University.

Neonatology is a subspecialty of pediatrics that consists of the medical care of newborn infants, especially ill or premature newborns. It is a hospital-based specialty and is usually practiced in neonatal intensive care units. Neonatologists generally diagnose and treat newborns with conditions such as breathing disorders, infections, and birth defects, as well as coordinating care and medically managing newborns born prematurely, critically ill, or in need of surgery.
