Good Samaritan Family Birth Center
Privacy, Care and Comfort During Labor and Delivery
Use this slideshow to take a closer look at our Family Birth Center.
Plenty of natural light makes our spacious birthing suites feel warm and welcoming.
There's plenty of room for mom, baby and partner to stay together after the delivery.
Each birthing suite features a private bath with jetted tub.
Different positions, such as sitting on a birthing ball, can sometimes help women be more comfortable during labor.
Though our Birthing Suites are designed with your comfort in mind, they are equipped with sophisticated medical technology, to ensure the health of you and your baby.
Our goal is to give you the best birth experience possible.
After you recover from delivery, you and your baby will rest in one of our spacious, private post-partum rooms.
These rooms also feature sleeping couches, rocking chairs and lots of natural light.
Our birthing suites and our post-partum rooms are all outfitted with a mini-fridge and entertainment center with TV and DVD/VCR.
Babies who need more care stay in our Intermediate Care Nursery, where they receive 24/7 support from our expert staff and board-certified neonatologists.
Come see our Birth Center for yourself. Tours leave from the Birth Center lobby at 1pm every Saturday and Sunday. No reservations required.
