Safety
Safety
for you and your baby is our
first concern. No one can
predict how your pregnancy
or delivery will progress.
Most progress without
difficulty, but if problems
occur, our doctors and
nurses are highly qualified
to manage them and emergency
medical equipment for you
and your baby are provided
in every room. An OR Crew is
on standby when you are in
labor with 24 hour a day
surgical services available.
24
Hour a Day Nursery Services
Parents
are encouraged to have their
baby’s room-in with them.
All babies receive a hearing
test to detect any
impairment that could cause
developmental problems later
on.
For
emergency neonatal
transport, Children’s
Hospital transport is
utilized.
Post
Partum Recovery
Following your birth, our
New Life Center is equipped
for the support person to
stay with mom, as well as
the ability to provide all
newborn care at your bedside
while your baby rooms-in
with you. This way we can
teach you while we provide
care to your baby, making an
easier transition to those
first few days at home.
Lactation support is
provided for breastfeeding
support. Room service style
meals are provided for you
and your very guests on
request, and new parents are
treated to a special meal
before they return home.
Classes
In the
spirit of a small community,
we begin getting to know you
and your family during the
first trimester by offering
an individual, personalized
“Early Pregnancy” session
designed to give you the
information you need to have
a healthy pregnancy. Later,
in the third trimester, we
offer Childbirth Classes
taught by a certified
childbirth educator in a
group setting where Dr.
Koschnitzke and Dr. Beesley
can also give you
information and answer your
questions. We offer an
ongoing New
Mother/Breastfeeding Support
group that meets once a
week.

New Life Center, or classes
