Delivering an Exceptional Birth Experience
The Birthplace staff has helped women deliver thousands of babies, but we still view every birth as unique. We work closely with you and your health care provider to support the choices you make in your birth plan, to ensure your experience is exceptional.
Your comfort and convenience matter to us
We’ve designed modern, private and secure birthing and postpartum rooms. They come equipped with the latest technology, assuring the best for you and your baby. Rooms also include free Wi-Fi so you can immediately announce your happy news.
What newborn care and support can you expect?
After your baby’s birth, our experienced baby specialists will help you learn how to care for your baby. You’ll learn important tips that are fascinating and even sometimes fun. Certified, caring lactation consultants are on hand to assist and support you for successful breastfeeding.
Are you pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant?
If you’re looking for a physician to care for you during the planning phases of your pregnancy, while you're pregnant and after you give birth, we partner with many outstanding health care providers in the area. Use our website to find a clinic near you, or call our OB Intake Nurse Deb Hall, 651-982-7135. If you have just learned you are pregnant, Deb will answer your questions and help match you with the physician that's right for you.
