The Family Birthing Center at the Parkview Women’s & Children’s Hospital
We’re expecting too!
If your baby will be born at the Parkview Family Birthing Center on the Parkview North campus, you’ve chosen an exciting time at an extraordinary facility. While the new Parkview Women’s & Children’s Hospital opened with great excitement in 2008, we’re now in the process of constructing the new Parkview Regional Medical Center on the same campus.
We’re eagerly expecting a January 2012 opening.

Parking and check in
For your convenience, free valet parking is available for patients and guests in the circle drive located next to Entrance 1 on the Parkview North Campus.
Free public parking is provided in lots outside each entrance on the Parkview North campus. Guests are welcome to park in any non-reserved space in any of the public lots:
A Family Birthing Center staff member will greet you in the reception area, assist you with check in and escort you to your room. Shortly thereafter, a Patient Registration staff member will visit, if required.
Visiting hours
Visiting hours are not restricted at the Parkview Women’s & Children’s Hospital.
Balancing our patients’ need for rest and their desire for visitors is important, so visiting hours are based on the discretion of the unit nurse and patient. Patients have the right to refuse visitation.
The unit nurses ultimately decide whether a patient’s condition warrants visitors, and they may deny visitation in the best interest of the patient, or grant extended visitation to immediate family members.
Tobacco-free facilities
All Parkview Health campuses are tobacco-free. No tobacco use of any kind is permitted – inside or outside – on our property. Parkview’s decision to go tobacco-free is a tangible way we can demonstrate our ongoing commitment to a healthier work environment and to a better experience for our patients and their families. For more information and resources regarding tobacco cessation, please visit www.in.gov/itpc.
