Referral to the PPIU
How to make a referral to the PPIU:
To make referrals to the PPIU, please call or email our intake coordinator:
Rosalind Roberts, 984-974-3834, Rosalind.Roberts@unchealth.unc.edu
To complete the referral, we will need the patient’s insurance information and clinical information. The clinical information can be notes from any outpatient provider.
Once reviewed by our team, our coordinator will be in contact with you about potential admission dates. We are often able to admit patients into the hospital within a week of the referral.
When preparing for your admission, please take care to follow our permitted item list: PPIU Admission Items
For patients from out of town:
When possible, we recommend the patient’s family and infant travel to Chapel Hill, NC for the duration of the hospitalization. This allows the patient to have frequent visitation with the infant and for the treatment team to meet the family in person.
SECU Family House at (919) 932-8000 has affordable rooms for families with babies. Brochure February 2023 Please see the UNC Visitor Information site.
For family or friends traveling with the patient, please obtain the list of hotel accommodations in the area by contacting Patient Relations at (984) 974-5006.
