Birthing Suites

For a homelike delivery, we offer birthing suites where you experience labor, deliver your baby and remain throughout your entire hospital stay. Attractive cupboards hide all of the modern equipment doctors need to ensure a safe delivery. Each suite is also equipped with a TV, VCR and CD player for your family's enjoyment and educational needs. And to relax, enjoy your own whirlpool tub during labor or after delivery.

Security System

Your safety and your baby's safety is important to us. Therefore, the Women's Health & Resource Center is equipped with a state-of-the-art security system. During your stay, we will review the security of your baby with you.

Programs

The staff at the Women's Health & Resource Center offers a wide variety of educational programs to help you and your family adjust to the changes that you go through during pregnancy. During your pregnancy, you may request a private visit with a Registered Nurse from the Center. She will visit with you at your doctor's office during your early pregnancy, and then again at the hospital during your second-third trimester. The RN will answer your questions and help you find the resources you need to have a happy and healthy pregnancy. We also offer community education/classes in:

• Child birth classes (choice of weekly or all-day class)
• Child birth refresher
• Prenatal education and care coordination
• Breastfeeding classes
• Breastfeeding support group
• Postpartum follow-up visit at the hospital
• Infant care classes
