Martha C. Caprio, MD

I am an associate professor of pediatrics and neonatology attending at NYU Langone, where I previously served as the medical director of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). I implemented initiatives to improve patient care and outcomes and led advancements in neonatal care as director of the NYU Langone regional perinatal center. My leadership led to the passage of a critical New York State legislative bill concerning flu vaccinations in NICUs, and research I conducted in neonatal nutrition has resulted in innovative clinical practices and public health initiatives, particularly in flu vaccination and feeding protocols for neonatal patients.

In medical education, I have authored important works in the neonatal training program neonatologist and focused on neonatal care, developed resources for parents and healthcare training, and pioneered computerized systems. I also hold a patent for the Airfoam force-prevention medical transport mattress. Renowned for my empathy and mentorship, I continue to work to inspire future neonatologists and neonatal healthcare professionals.
