We're committed to partnering with you to create a family-centered birth experience, as the birth of your baby represents the birth of a new family. We're here to support your right to make choices whenever possible. We believe that care should focus on the safety and comfort of you and your child, while providing flexibility that encourages the involvement of your entire family. It's important to us to help you and your family feel right at home in our Family Maternity Center. We never lose sight of the fact that every birth is a unique and special event.

If necessary, all of our newborns have immediate access to our Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Our Level III NICU is staffed by nurses with advanced neonatal training, neonatal nurse practitioners and a neonatal doctor available 24 hours a day. These services are especially important for mothers with risk factors such as diabetes or high blood pressure. But for all families, it provides welcome assurance that we can care for all of your baby's needs. Family-centered care
While our highly skilled staff and advanced technology are certainly impressive, what most families remember about us is our nurturing environment. It's an atmosphere that welcomes the involvement of family members every step of the way, from childbirth preparation classes to family waiting areas for children and grandparents. One of the most exciting aspects of the Family Maternity Center is the integration of a Family-Centered Care philosophy that encourages women and their families to be involved in their own health care. With an emphasis on the provider-family relationship, Family-Centered Care involves the whole family, honors socioeconomic and cultural differences, and fosters education. The goal is to nurture, support and empower patients and families toward the highest degree of health.
