Birth and Women's Center Setting
Housed in a completely renovated Victorian style home, our center includes our professional office with three exam rooms and a waiting area. Located on the first floor is the Birth Center with two private bedroom-like birth rooms each with double bed, stereo, infant warmer, birth equipment and a full complement of emergency equipment such as oxygen, intravenous fluids, resuscitation equipment and emergency medication. If a mother or baby needs hospital care our location, only a few blocks from our back-up hospitals, insures a rapid transfer. Adjoining the birth rooms is a lounging area, children's play area and a bathroom with a tub and shower. An equipped kitchen is easily accessible for snack and meal preparation.
The Birth & Women's Center, the first freestanding birth center in our state, is licensed by the Commission for Accreditation of Freestanding Birth Centers. The Birth Center also serves as a clinical site for the education of Nurse-Midwives
