Private Labor, Deliver, & Recovery Suites

We understand how important it is to have a private and intimate birthing experience with your closest loved ones during your hospital stay. For this reason, we offer private suites tailored to your needs, providing a comfortable and serene space for you and your family. Our thoughtfully designed suites ensure a supportive environment where you can focus on what truly matters.

Your private room will include:

  • A state-of-the-art birthing bed
  • A large jacuzzi
  • Cable TV with DVD/CD player
  • Wireless internet access
  • A comfortable sleeper chair for a guest who wishes to stay overnight

Natural Birthing Support

For those who would like to experience natural childbirth using alternative pain management, our skilled obstetricians and certified nurse midwives offer various options, including birthing balls, hydrotherapy, and welcome coaching by doulas. As fetal monitoring may be necessary in labor, the center's monitors are waterproof and portable, allowing for close observation even while the mother walks or uses the jacuzzi.

Specialized obstetric anesthesiologists are available to provide epidural or other forms of anesthesia customized to the mother's pain-control preferences. The mother-baby staff is ever-ready to assess your newborn and assist you in learning how to care for your baby.

Additional support for our patients includes:

  • Nurses and lactation consultants to help you learn about breastfeeding
  • Neonatologists and advanced practitioners to help care for the newborn, as well as actively consult and collaborate with the new mother
  • Pharmacists to offer advice on safety of drugs for the pregnant and lactating mothers
  • Language interpreters upon request
