The Birthing Centre



When you’re expecting a baby, you want the best in comfort, safety, security and care for yourself and for your child. That’s exactly what you’ll find with your delivery at our Birthing Centre. Our staff includes registered nurses whose dedication to the care of mothers and babies is reflected in everything they do. Every member of our staff maintains training and competencies in neonatal resuscitation and fetal monitoring so any variation from normal conditions can be quickly addressed.  Most importantly, our nursing staff loves what they do … and it shows in the care you’ll receive.

We view the birth of your baby as an entire process that includes giving you the information and education you’ll need leading up to delivery, the baby’s birth, and the special care for you, your child and your family after your baby arrives. Your experience includes:

  • Private, spacious birthing suites
  • A C-section surgical suite just steps away from your room
  • State-of-the art fetal monitoring system
  • 24-hour OB anesthesia for epidural pain relief
  • Infant security system with alarms to keep your baby safe
  • Comprehensive breastfeeding program with lactation counselors available
  • Childbirth education classes
  • A special parent dinner with a quiet time to talk, visit and relax

As you welcome your new baby, our staff maintains a family-oriented focus on your needs and those of your family. We encourage your support person to stay with you in the hours following your delivery and we support your baby rooming with you, if that is your preference. Of course, we are happy to care for your little one in the nursery when you need time to rest.

Our Birthing Centre is located on the third floor of the hospital. For more information, or to schedule a tour, please call (740) 623-4372.

See for yourself the difference it makes when you deliver your baby close to home … with people who care.
