Family Centered Care Units

Our mission is to provide highly skilled and considerate care for you and your baby, with personalized attention that shows respect for your physical, spiritual, social and cultural needs.
- Our private rooms are designed to provide bonding time. They feature sleeper sofas for family and plenty of space to keep your baby with you.
- Our team includes experienced and compassionate physicians, nurses, clinical care assistants, case managers and breastfeeding consultants.
We are committed to respecting your privacy, managing your pain, answering the call light promptly, providing answers to your questions, and giving you support.
Safety and Security
Employees wear a photo ID with name, title and department. Babies have two ID bracelets that match the number of the parents' bracelet. Staff verifies the ID number on the bracelets to ensure they match upon admission and any time you are separated from your baby.
There is an enhanced infant security system as an added layer of security. Our security officers make frequent rounds on all units as well.
Nursery
When you need time to rest, we will be happy to care for your baby in the nursery.
Newborn Care
Many parents prefer to have their newborn bathed after 24 hours. The first bath is an important step, giving you skin-to-skin contact with your baby.
When your baby is 24 hours old, a pediatrician will perform a physical and behavioral exam; our nursing staff will assess your baby every eight hours.
All babies are offered the first series of hepatitis B vaccines upon pediatrician request, will have a hearing test and are examined for signs and symptoms of jaundice (yellow color of the skin). Prior to discharge we perform a blood test (PKU) to check metabolism, screening for congenital heart defects and in some instances, a car seat test.
