The Center for Childbirth offers a family-centered approach to the childbirth experience.
We recognize that each family has their own desires for childbirth. Our goal is to meet these needs in a relaxed, flexible and comforting environment.
The Valley Approach to the Childbirth Experience
At The Center for Childbirth, you will be cared for by a team of doctors, nurses and support staff dedicated to providing medical care in a comfortable and private environment.
When you are admitted for labor and delivery, you will enter one of our Labor Delivery Recovery (LDR) rooms. LDR rooms allow women to labor, deliver and recover in a modern setting that combines a beautiful homelike environment with sophisticated medical technology.
Our private rooms provide a warm and comfortable setting for new mothers, their babies and their visiting family.
The Center for Childbirth is also equipped with state-of-the-art cesarean delivery rooms and a Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
