About the Unit
The facility's recently renovated L&D unit (2025) serves approximately 2,600 deliveries annually. The unit features 10 private Labor/Delivery/Recovery rooms, each equipped with a private bathroom, shower, space for overnight support persons, and comfort amenities. A hydrotherapy labor tub is available to support comfort measures and reduce the need for interventions.
The facility emphasizes family-centered care: immediate skin-to-skin contact, early bonding, and a rooming-in model where babies stay with their parents to promote breastfeeding success. Pain management options include nitrous oxide, 24/7 epidural availability, and multiple other comfort measures.
The facility operates a Level IIB Special Care Nursery on-site.
