Patients must be referred to the Clinic by their physicians. The Medical Center is proud of its comprehensive maternity services . The Single Room Maternity Care Unit offers a private room in which the birth experience occurs. This room is designed to accommodate mother, baby, and family members throughout the maternity stay. These comfortable, spacious rooms have both an attractive, homelike decor and the capacity to support all of the high technology equipment that might be necessary during a delivery.
Families can choose to care for their newborns in the room or in the nursery.
Expectant families are encouraged to participate in the variety of classes available through the Parent Education Program. Childbirth Education, Sibling Class, and Living with Your Infant are just a few of the classes offered. Please call for a description and schedule of classes. Occasionally maternity patients at the Medical Center require specialized evaluation by a perinatologist.
