Maternity

The Maternity Place at Samaritan Medical Center is bustling with new additions to families – and one of the most precious. The Maternity Place staff delivers and cares for 1,700 babies on average each year. The unit features over 20 mother/baby rooms, six labor and delivery rooms, and a newly renovated Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with 12 beds.

The Maternity Place offers extensive labor pain management options, 24 hour anesthesia coverage, minimal visitation limitations, pull out sleep chairs for partners and more. And as part of our family-centered philosophy, we strive to keep mothers and babies together after birth, including the times where a cesarean section must be performed – all of these care qualities are very important for expecting mothers.

In addition to the experienced and compassionate staff at The Maternity Place, there are many other reasons for expecting mothers to deliver their babies at Samaritan Medical Center, including:

• Special celebratory dinner for parents
• Canvas tote bags given upon discharge with Your Baby's First Year Book for parents and an Easy Reader book for the older sibling
• Pull out sleeper for partner
• Baby 360 digital photography services
• Specialized assistance with breastfeeding
• Many free classes
