The perfect place to welcome a newborn
There’s no better place to bring a baby into the world than right here, close to home, surrounded by family and friends. Parkview LaGrange Hospital gives special attention to making sure everything is set for the big day.
Our Family Birthing Center is a state-of-the-art facility that features:
- all-private rooms with showers
- three labor and delivery rooms
- four post-partum rooms
Every room has beautiful, peaceful decor and is furnished with a sleeper sofa and a glider rocker for mom. The rooms also have flat screen TVs and a table and chairs for the new parents to share meals together. For peace of mind, each room has a computer that is linked to an advanced fetal-monitoring system.
The HUGS® Infant Protection System provides enhanced security throughout the hospital, yet allows greater flexibility for visiting hours.
The nursery facilities are also impressive. Infants rest in cozy new bassinets with radiant warmers. Windows to the hallway comprise an entire wall of the nursery, so that family members may look in on the new arrivals.
Moms and dads are also pampered, with refreshments available all day, a special family hour after delivery, and a keepsake gift set to take home. Education is another important part of the Family Birthing Center, and expectant parents are encouraged to take part in a 4-week Prenatal Education series that is offered on the first four Tuesday evenings each month. The fee for the series is $35, $15 for WIC recipients.
Although every parent wants to have a healthy baby, some infants are born prematurely or become ill after birth. In that event, the Parkview LaGrange Hospital Special Care Nursery is well prepared to provide specialized care for your baby. If your physician decides further attention is needed, a state-of-the-art newborn intensive care unit at the Women’s & Children’s Hospital in Fort Wayne is available 24/7 with board-certified neonatologists.
Call (260) 463-9300 to arrange a personal tour or to make a reservation for one of our Prenatal Education series.
