The Birthplace

Families are “One of a Kind” at The Birthplace at Stormont-Vail. The Birthplace features labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum suites for family-oriented, patient-focused care. Designed for comfort and safety, the suites contain all the equipment necessary to provide for a safe birth experience, while at the same time offering families a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere in which to share this exciting time. The state-of-the-art sonogram provides physicians additional information when needed.

When the decision is made to deliver at Stormont-Vail, the patient’s physician will give her a “One of a Kind” Handbook for Pregnancy and Parenting, which provides information on admissions and classes, prenatal care, labor and birth, postpartum care, infant feeding and health and safety. The professional and support staff of The Birthplace created this comprehensive book.

To prepare expectant parents, Stormont-Vail offers a full range of family-centered programs in prenatal, sibling and infant care. The Birthplace does not stop caring for families once they are dismissed from the hospital. The Birthplace offers a postpartum visit for the mother and baby by the clinical staff. The Breastfeeding Clinic serves as an excellent support system for mothers breastfeeding or bottle feeding their babies. The clinic is available 10 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday and 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday.
