Exceptional Care
Our highly trained, compassionate maternity specialists make sure you and your baby are safe and secure while you're in our care.
Maternity Care
Your care team may include:
- Physicians (including high-risk obstetricians on call 24-hours a day, seven days a week)
- Certified nurse mid-wives
- Certified nurse anesthetists
- Neonatal nurse practitioners
- Registered nurses
After your delivery, lactation consultants and specially trained nurses are available to assist you with your newborn and answer questions.
Welcoming Baby
When the big day arrives, your birthing center care team will partner with you to make this special experience everything your family expects. Some women may also choose to bring a doula with them—also known as a birth companion or post-birth supporter.
All care for the baby, from baths to exams, will be done in-room as you and your family learn about, and bond with, your new addition.
Unexpected Complications
If an unexpected complication occurs, high-risk obstetricians are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) provides newborns as early as 23 weeks specialized care and attention to give them the best start possible.
Safe Infant Sleep
We’re committed to the safety and health of your baby while they are under our care. We’re trained and strictly adhere to the American Academy of Pediatrics safe-sleep guidelines and are a certified Gold Cribs for Kids National Safe Sleep Hospital.
During your stay, we also instruct your family on safe-sleep practices for infants in your home:
- Back to Sleep for Every Sleep: Place your baby on their back for all overnight sleeps and naps until one year of age, or until they are able to roll over on their own.
- Use a firm, flat, non-inclined, and safety-approved sleep space (crib, bassinet, or placard).
- Feed and promote use of breast milk, when able to do so, to reduce the risk of death.
- Share your room, not your bed.
- Place your baby in a bare crib.
- Use a pacifier to reduce the risk of death.
- Dress for Sleep: Safely swaddle your baby and avoid overheating them.
- Keep up with all medical visits and vaccines.
- Research baby products before buying them.
- Practice Tummy Time.
- Spread the Safe Sleep message.
Birth Certificate
Once the dust settles, you may wonder where to get your baby’s birth certificate. You can order it from the Ohio Department of Health Vital Records website or by calling 513-352-3120.
