What makes us special?
We practice Family Centered Maternity Care, which allows the patient and her family to be actively involved in decisions about the birth experience and postpartum stay. We have LDRPs, and private rooms for our C-section patients and Mother/Baby care lets one nurse care for both the mother and baby. This provides wonderful opportunities for patient education. We also have Lactation Consultants to assist with breastfeeding and a Lactation Store that sells supplies and rents pumps
