The nuclear medicine department, which includes an on-site nuclear pharmacy, is staffed by registered nuclear medicine technologists. A broad range of services are offered including nuclear medicine imaging, nuclear cardiology, and computer assisted renal and hepatobiliary studies. Absorption and excretion tests are also available. The service's emphasis is on family centered care. Mothers and newborns room together and are cared for by nurses specially trained in infant and post-partum care.
Fathers are welcome to stay overnight and siblings are encouraged to visit.
At Stillwater Medical Center, childbirth is treated as a natural life experience, not an illness. As a special service to mothers of newborns, SMC has developed and implemented a new security system. The Pain Management Clinic procedures include epidural steroid injections, trigger point blocks and many other types of facet and nerve blocks. These procedures are performed by anesthesiologists one or two times a week. The hospital provides a number of pre-natal education programs each quarter.
