At North Vista Hospital, we believe the birth of every baby is a special event. Our experienced team of doctors and nurses are dedicated to providing excellent care for you and to helping your baby get the best possible start.

Labor, Delivery and Recovery
For the birth of your baby, we’ve prepared a private, spacious, comfortably furnished labor and delivery suite. Our 8 spacious labor & delivery suites are designed to increase your comfort during labor. Each suite is also fully equipped to help ensure a safe delivery and outstanding medical care for the first hours of your baby’s life. If you require a Caesarean section, we have surgical suites available nearby.

Postpartum
After your baby is born, when you have had time to recover and we know that your baby is doing well, you will move to another room in our Women’s Center. Nurses in the postpartum unit provide couplet care, where the same nurse takes care of both you and your new baby.

Rooming-in
We encourage mothers to keep their new babies in their rooms. Rooming-in gives families time to bond and helps new parents learn how to care for their infant with the professional assistance of our nursing staff. We also offer in-room television programming to educate new parents about infant care.

Our Nurseries
Our well baby nursery is available for mothers while they are unable to care for their newborns. Our Level II nursery provides a higher level of care for babies who are sick or who need special medical treatment. Both nurseries are staffed with experienced nurses who have advanced training in the care of newborns.

Breastfeeding
We offer lactation assistance for mothers who choose to breastfeed. All our nurses are trained in lactation and can help you learn the best techniques for feeding your baby and how to be sure your baby is getting enough milk.

Visitors
We know you will want friends and loved ones to share in your joy when you welcome your new baby into the world. We maintain a family-centered approach and offer flexible visiting hours and comfortable waiting areas for your guests.

Infant Security
Our comprehensive infant security plan is designed to protect our tiniest patients and to help ensure they stay safe in the hospital.

In addition to other security measures, we use a high-tech electronic surveillance system to keep track of each baby. After birth, we place a small monitoring band around your baby’s ankle, where it remains until you take the baby home. The band, which is completely safe, transmits an electronic signal to a nursing station and alerts nurses if a baby even moves too close to a maternity unit exit.
