childcare for siblings.
Maternal Child Pavilion
 The

can celebrate your miracle in the privacy of your own private mother/baby
room-at no additional cost. And, you’ll be comforted
in knowing some of the nation’s best maternity services and
expertise are right outside your door.
On all of our mother/baby
units, specially trained nurses give you and your family members
bedside guidance and support in newborn care while your baby remains
with you in the room. Your nurse will demonstrate bath, diapering
and daily care, and provide instruction in breast and bottle-feeding.
In addition, all of our nurses are lactation specialists with years
of experience. Additional educational programs are also available
during your hospital stay.
 We welcome visitors from near and
far to share in your celebration. Wireless internet access is available
for free in all mother/baby rooms. Father/Labor
partners are encouraged to visit at any time and can even sleep
over. Siblings

Newborn Nursery
 Our
well baby nurseries and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are
housed on the third floor of the Medical Center. Each newborn nursery
has the latest technology to support the highest quality infant
care.
The health and security of your newborn are the primary focus
of the staff of our nurseries. Identification bracelets are applied
at the time of delivery, before the baby leaves the place of delivery. These
bracelets have the same corresponding numbers as the bracelet for
the mother and her labor partner. Babies cannot be taken
out of the nursery by the parents until the bracelets are checked.
Father/significant other cannot remove their ID bracelet until
baby is discharged home. A state-of-the art computerized security
system is in place for all infants at the Medical Center.
