Our Facility

Our private rooms are designed to make mothers and their families feel right at home. Our comfortable rooms include many special amenities that mothers and their families have asked for, including sleep chairs for our support persons, personal refrigerators, large flat screen televisions, and internet access.

Birthing Center Classes

We know that with pregnancy and the anticipation of labor come a number of questions. Our virtual and in-person classes are taught by medical professionals and are free of charge. Whether you’re expectant parents for the first time or the fifth, we offer multiple classes to help you prepare for childbirth and life with new baby.

Breastfeeding Assistance and Education

Once your bundle of joy has arrived we will support your decision to breastfeed.  While breastfeeding is natural, it is not always easy.  To help facilitate this bond between mom and baby, we offer a Breastfeeding Class, which aims to educate you on the benefits of breastfeeding, guide positioning and latch, answer common questions and concerns, share community resources, and teach basics of breast pumps and milk storage.  We welcome partners interested in attending; their support can be extremely helpful for new mothers.  Once in the hospital we have 3 lactation consultants that round on our patients and provide hands-on assistance and tips to assist in making breastfeeding a successful experience for your family.
