Women’s and Children’s
Our Women’s and Children’s care team is eagerly awaiting your arrival; usually around 2 hours after delivery and continuing throughout the remainder of your stay. Your new room will look similar; however much less equipment is necessary so you’ll enjoy the additional space as you welcome your closest family and friends.
We provide a family-centered approach to our care and services while ensuring the highest level of security. This means rather than placing your baby in the nursery, our team of highly skilled mother-baby nurses and physicians come to you to provide care when possible. If, for any reason, your baby needs special care and equipment, we also offer a newborn nursery (just down the hall) as well as a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Care after delivery includes:
- Personalized Care (link to patient preferences menu)
- Communication boards (link to photo)
- Pasteurized Donor Human Milk (link)
- Skin-to-skin (link to info)
- If your baby is a boy, you will need to choose if a circumcision is desired while in the hospital. (link to parent handout)
