Labor and delivery services
Our team is committed to providing the support and education you need during this very exciting, yet sometimes overwhelming, time.
Our maternity hospital
Each year, close to 3,000 children are born at our hospital, and we take pride in making sure every newborn receives compassionate, quality care. Our maternity hospital offers convenient services and amenities, including:
- A knowledgeable and compassionate staff of medical professionals, including board-certified obstetricians (OBs), certified nurses, anesthesiologists and perinatologists, or maternal-fetal medicine specialists
- Comprehensive prenatal care, including helpful childbirth classes and preparation workshops
- Computerized bedside charting, which allows for frequent monitoring during labor and health tracking throughout your stay
- Private birthing and postpartum suites, many with views of Biscayne Bay
Antepartum unit
Sometimes there is a need for hospitalization during pregnancy. We offer a high-risk antepartum unit with specialized nurses trained in the care of pregnant women. If you are hospitalized during your pregnancy, we can support your needs.
Labor and delivery suites
Our labor and delivery rooms (LDRs) offer a comforting environment where our maternity team can also provide high-quality care. Each LDR is equipped with a birthing bed that allows for labor, delivery and recovery to take place in the same room.
Maternity classes
We want to help you learn to trust your instincts and feel confident in becoming a new parent. By attending our maternity classes, you will have an opportunity to learn up-to-date information and helpful tips about pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood.
Neonatal intensive care services
Sometimes newborns need extra attention due to a medical condition or complications that arise during childbirth. To provide the skilled care these babies need, our hospital is equipped with a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). We take pride in offering you and your newborn a full range of supportive therapies and services, including:
- Breastfeeding support from lactation consultants
- Kangaroo care, or skin-to-skin contact
- Massage therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Physical therapy
- Social services support
Our NICU team
Our neonatal team is staffed by neonatologists, neonatal nurse practitioners and specially trained neonatal nurses who are ready to care for your little one, if needed.
We recognize the need for you to be involved in your baby's care. This is why we offer 24/7 access to the NICU. We will do everything we can to help ensure you feel connected to your baby.
Postpartum care
Our maternity services don't end once you meet your baby. After birth, our postpartum care starts as you are transitioned into one of our private postpartum suites where you can get to know your little one and begin recovery.
We also provide you with a wealth of information, including how to bathe, feed and dress your newborn, so you can feel prepared when you are discharged.
