Special Delivery

Hundreds of times each year, proud grandparents, aunts, uncles, family members, and friends meet at The Family BirthPlace to greet a newborn and share the joy of the new Mom and Dad.

Ensuring that births are safe, comfortable, and memorable is the work of our dedicated physicians and nurses, and is the purpose behind this beautifully-designed unit.

Services Offered at Family BirthPlace:

• Room-in option for spouse/significant other
• Jacuzzi tubs
• Private breastfeeding room for employees and visitors
• Follow-up visits for mother and baby within four days of discharge
• Security system ensuring babies' safety

The Family BirthPlace provides total maternity care in a comfortable, home-like environment. Rooms are designed so that Mom can stay in one comfortable place from admission through discharge. Staff nurses are certified in neonatal advanced life support and provide one-to-one nursing during active labor. We encourage you to arrange a personal tour when planning for your baby's birth.
