Maternity

With more than 300,000 deliveries and counting, we continue to make safety and quality are our first priority. We’re also committed to giving you a birth experience that fits your personal values. Natural birthing methods are among your options. If you need special care because your pregnancy is considered high-risk, we have the options you need.

Nurse midwife services

As you begin to plan for a family and, ultimately, labor and delivery, your options for pre-pregnancy and prenatal care include the services of a certified nurse midwife. As a member of your care team, a nurse midwife offers a holistic approach that includes well-woman visits, gynecology and delivery of your baby. With these services, you will have support and counseling all along the way.

In addition to a midwife, you also can ask about access to our alternative birth suite, which is an extension of this natural style of maternity care for low-risk pregnancies. The suite offers many of the comforts of home. These include a queen-size bed, a freestanding tub for hydrotherapy, an in-suite crib, as well as furnishings where family and friends can relax as you do the same.
