Preregister for labor and delivery
When you go into labor, the last thing you want to think about is paperwork. To avoid this, we encourage you to preregister for your delivery at least two months before your due date. We make it easy — you only need to complete our online preregistration form. After the form is complete, the staff at our hospital takes care of the rest of the process for you.
