Maternity services
Every mom expects a skilled medical team attending her during labor and delivery, but we think you should expect more. We offer two skilled medical teams at each birth. One team is dedicated to you and your needs. The other is focused completely on your baby’s needs. Both have experience in routine and complicated deliveries.
We designed each of our private labor, delivery and recovery rooms to make your birth experience safe and welcoming—for your baby and for you. We offer:
- Private labor, delivery and recovery rooms
- 22 private postpartum rooms
- Five-star VIP postpartum suite, featuring a living area and kitchenette
- High-risk maternity care
- Childbirth education courses
- Breastfeeding support
- Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
- Adoption support
- Same-sex partner support
Following birth, we support rooming-in and offer optional quiet-time hours, so mom and baby can rest.
Family-centered C-section
Women are seeking ways to customize their birthing experience now more than ever. If a C-section is needed, we make sure you still have choices by offering family-centered C-sections, also known as "gentle cesareans." This specialized type of delivery allows you to be more involved in delivery and immediately begin to bond with your newborn.
Family-centered C-sections allow for immediate, skin-to-skin contact, which offers benefits such as regulating body temperature and heart rate, controlling anxiety and an increased breastfeeding success rate.
