The Birthing Center
There's no better place to start.
Congratulations! You've already made a wonderful start for
you and your baby by looking here for your birthing care.
There's no better place to start for new moms and newborns
than at The Birthing Center at Saint Mary's. We're known for
our warm, personal, one-to-one care. And if you need advanced
medical care, it's a comfort to know it's also right here.
We have on-staff specialists and the latest technology that
you just can't get everywhere.
At
Saint Mary's, your care starts right away, long before your
special day. Let us tell you about our prenatal care, education,
and support programs. Learn all about your many labor, delivery,
and recovery options. Prepare for parenting and a comfortable
transition home. Our staff would love to help you and there
are so many ways they can, starting today.
Along with the traditional options, you'll find many others
that only The Birthing Center at Saint Mary's offers. That's
because we know that your care does not simply begin and end
with meeting physical needs. You have emotional and spiritual
ones, too. Our holistic approach cares for you as a whole
person - body, mind, and spirit. Partnering with The Wege
Institute for Mind, Body, & Spirit at Saint Mary's, we
can include complementary approaches like massage, acupressure
and music therapies that make your care complete. There just
isn't a better place to meet all your needs.
