Your Special Nurse
St. Luke's "Your Special Nurse" program is a free service for women who plan to deliver in our Birth Care Suites. It is designed to be a helpful resource to expectant mothers, and even those who are not yet pregnant, by providing the opportunity to fully prepare for childbirth through a personal relationship with Your Special Nurse, a dedicated OB nurse navigator.
At St. Luke's Hospital, we believe every birth is special. The birth experience is a life-changing event that will be a special memory and time for you, your family and friends. The Your Special Nurse service is one of the many ways St. Luke's provides the personalized care and attention your birth experience deserves.
By participating in the Your Special Nurse program, you can take advantage of these special services:
- Personal tour of the St. Luke's Birth Care Suites – when it's convenient for you – to help you plan your birth experience
- Visit with Your Special Nurse, midway through your pregnancy
