The Pampered Touch in Our Labor & Delivery Unit

Your child's birth is a precious one that you might want to share quietly together. Or, it might be a time to gather loved ones around in joyful celebration. At The Women & Infants Center, we treat childbirth as wellness- not illness- and we understand that you want options. We will support your choices and provide personalized care for you and your baby during childbirth.

Our nursing staff are experts at providing compassionate, quality care to moms and babies.  Since our approach is family-centered care, we work with moms to provide a comfortable and relaxing birthing experience.   In the rare case of needed critical support for your newborn, we have the latest technology and 24-hour access to Neonatologists in our Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

We are committed to providing a soothing and tranquil atmosphere for you and your family. Our birthing rooms have a spa-like atmosphere to help make your experience comfortable. Following delivery, you will have your own private room with the option of having your newborn by your bedside or in the nursery so you may rest.
