Our private labor-and-delivery rooms are spacious enough to host family members whom you wish to be present during the birth of your baby. Rooms include whirlpool tubs, showers, and other amenities to assist the labor process. Our caring and experienced nurses will work with you on relaxation and pain control techniques.
Helping you manage pain is important to us. Let your nurse know when you need something for pain and if the medications are effective in controlling your pain. Anesthesiologists are in-house 24/7 to help you manage your pain.
Surgical suites are located nearby to accommodate cesarean births, and a Special Care Unit is available for mothers-to-be who experience pre-term labor or have other conditions that require more intensive monitoring.
After delivery, new mothers, babies and their families are moved to one of our private, comfortably furnished, post-birth rooms. You may choose to let your baby stay in your room with you, or you also have the option, any time, of having a nurse bring your baby back to the nursery. Once you deliver your baby, we notify your pediatrician, who will examine your baby in the nursery or right in your room.
We are committed to making this a special experience for families, and offer many services and amenities for your comfort and enjoyment during your stay. This special unit offers:
- Spacious, private rooms that accommodate family and visitors
- A supportive environment for breastfeeding
- A massage and restaurant-style meal service
- Exceptional nurses who apply a holistic approach to caring for mother and baby
- In-room conveniences, like a vanity with hair dryer, private bathroom with shower, TV, and mini refrigerator
- Additional space for families, including a lounge with kitchen area, children’s play area, and outdoor courtyard
- WelcomeNewborn professional portrait photography
To create a healing environment, individual units set aside a quiet time each day for you to rest and spend one-on-one time with the newest member of your family. During quiet time, the lights on the unit are dimmed and staff refrain from unplanned interruptions. These times vary from unit to unit.
Your family’s safety and peace of mind are our top priority. We’ve taken the necessary steps to ensure your baby’s well-being, including 24-hour on-site security, supplemented by the latest in security technology and an identification badge process.
Wrist bands are required to stay on your newborn at all times to properly identify your baby for treatment, medications, and any necessary procedures.
Upon admission, you may receive one or more wrist identification bands, which should not be removed until you are discharged from the hospital. The hospital uses bands for patient/parent identification and to communicate medical information to hospital staff. Color-coded bands are used as medical alert devices for specific conditions. To avoid confusion, do not wear charity bracelets or other bands on your wrist when you come to the hospital.
After your delivery, we provide infant medical screenings and, for babies who need it, the most advanced Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in the county.
