Maternity Care

Our OB department is equipped with 4 ante partum rooms, 3 birthing rooms, 8 post-partum rooms, a state of the art newborn nursery, an operating suite, and updated recovery room for Cesarean section deliveries. A recently awarded grant from the William G. Selby and Marie Selby Foundation helped to equip our newborn nursery with state of the art equipment that rivals many large hospitals.

Our private Post-partum rooms are designed for family centered care and accommodate rooming-in of the newborns, sibling visitation, and the overnight stay of your partner. A special room has been designed for our new moms' initial and refresher education.

Our services include: latch assessment (for breastfeeding mothers), post- partum depression assessment and follow up, and lactation consultation.
