## Abstract

A mobile hospital bassinet includes a lower platform having a plurality of wheels and an upper platform. A plurality of vertically-operable legs connects the upper platform to the lower platform. A control is in operable communication with the plurality of vertically-operable legs, wherein the control is configured to dispose the vertically-operable platform in a position relative to the lower platform. An infant basket is coupled with the upper platform, wherein a tilting mechanism is coupled to the upper platform and the infant basket to dispose the infant basket between a plurality of angles relative to the upper platform. A plurality of compartments of the infant basket is defined by an interior surface of the infant basket. A cabinet assembly coupled to an underside of the upper platform.
