Saint Joseph East offers the comprehensive and sophisticated services you expect, but with an extraordinarily personal touch. Extra large postpartum rooms, with extra sleep accommodations, encourage families to stay close together after the baby's delivery. Special attention to individual birth plans, dedicated OB anesthesiologists, and a Level II neonatal intensive care unit provide an extra measure of confidence to new parents. Before baby's arrival, wellness and Lamaze classes can help prepare everyone for a positive birth experience.
Ongoing classes offer a variety of choices for pre-birth education and birth readiness.
Younger brothers and sisters and even grandparents can enjoy a class on what it means to have a new addition in the family. Expectant mothers decide everything, from who is in the delivery room to what type of pain control is used. The new mother can also decide to keep the baby in her room. In addition, a nursery nurse attends the delivery. This means we won't take your baby away right after the delivery.
