Fees are charged on a sliding scale. Babies are delivered at Rockville Hospital. Our Family Planning Center offers counseling and limited medical care to women of childbearing age, and to teenagers of both sexes. The focus is on safe health practices, including sex education, contraception, nutrition and lifestyles. Pregnancy tests, counseling, screenings for sexually-transmitted diseases and physical exams for women are offered.
Contraceptives are available at substantially reduced costs.
Visits are scheduled by appointment only. Often during a loved one's confinement in the hospital, or during the last weeks of pregnancy, family and friends are reluctant to be far from a place where they can be easily reached. With Close Ties, family members or loved ones can achieve peace of mind by leasing a small portable pager from the hospital for a service charge and a refundable deposit. If you're pregnant or have children under 10 years of age and don't have insurance, the Healthy Start program at Rockville Hospital will be able to help you. Healthy Start ensures quality prenatal care for you and your baby by our Maternity Care Center nurses and nurse practitioner, plus preventive care for your children.
