A Warm, Comfortable Birthing Environment
When the big day arrives, patients are given a private room to deliver their baby and start forming their bond with the newest member of the family. A team of physicians and nurses are ready to deliver family-centered care and are ready to help you with whatever you need. Our staff of nurses are known for providing exceptional, dedicated care with each patient. They will know your name and strive to provide you with a truly personalized birthing experience.
Each woman’s labor is unique and for this reason we offer a variety of pain management options including:
- Focal points
- Epidurals
- Intrathecal
- A private Whirlpool room

Visitation
We observe quiet time from 2 pm to 4 pm every day on the Birthing unit so that mothers and babies can bond and rest in a peaceful environment. We encourage visitors to arrange different hours to peek at the baby.
One thing we like to remind all expectant parents and visitors is the importance of washing hands. . Newborns are still developing their immune system, so you should always wash your hands before touching a new baby and avoid kissing them on the face. Even a small cold for an adult can turn into a serious health concern for a baby.
