Dr. Monica Arroyo is an attending Neonatal Neurologist at Joe di Maggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Florida. Prior to this position she completed a Pediatric Neurology residency and subsequently a fellowship in Fetal and Neonatal Neurology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in 2018 after graduating from medical school from the University of Puerto Rico. In her current position she has started a Neonatal Neurology service, fetal consultation service and a high risk clinic for NICU follow up since her arrival to the institution. Her mission is to accompany the parents in the “journey” of an unexpected neonatal brain injury. She is an advocate for optimizing continuity of care between the hospital and home and creating safe medical homes for children with complex needs. Dr. Arroyo is also interested in parent mental health and support and looking for ways to improve the NICU experience, as she herself is a NICU mother who lost her child to complications of prematurity.
