Postpartum care
A unique aspect of our maternity unit is our "Shared Care" program. With this innovative childbirth care program, one nurse is assigned to each mom and baby. This nurse serves as a consistent, familiar and knowledgeable resource for medical care, instruction and guidance.
Your baby is welcome to stay with you in your room for as long as you desire. We also encourage partners, siblings and friends to visit. We do this so that your family has the opportunity to meet and get to know your little one.
Postpartum depression support
Pregnancy and birth are wondrous and lifechanging experiences. Even so, many women experience the "baby blues" after birth, which may be described as feelings of sadness and fatigue. However, if these feelings last for more than a short time, it could be postpartum depression.
If you feel you may have postpartum depression, you're not alone. Postpartum depression is common. In fact, about one in eight women report having postpartum depression symptoms.
We recommend talking with your OB/GYN or nurse if you experience postpartum depression symptoms. Our team prioritizes helping you get the support and resources you need to feel better. Seeking help is the first step to feeling like yourself again.
