In 1994, we helped deliver over 885 babies in ten beautiful birthing suites and in April 1996, we added seven more birthing suites to accommodate the increasing number of parents and physicians choosing to come to Meridian Park. Our Beautiful Birthing Suites Families can spend their entire hospital stay in one private room with bathroom and shower. A comfortable couch is available for an overnight guest and a nursery is nearby when mothers need to rest.
Babies make their entrance into the world at all hours of the day and night.
For that reason, there are no preset visiting hours in the Family Birth Center. Your family and friends are welcome to visit at your discretion. In addition, they pioneered a program in which nurses receive additional training at Legacy Emanuel's Neonatal Intensive Care program to provide care for newborns with special needs at birth. The staff of the Family Birth Center supports a well-informed, individualized birth and encourages you to discuss your options with your physician. The Family Birth Center has a variety of measures in place to provide a secure environment for your baby.
