Maternity
Having a baby is an incredible experience. At French Hospital Medical Center, our Family Birthing Center focuses on family-centered care, with your baby born in a private room and cared for at your bedside.
Caring For You, Caring For Your Baby
At French Hospital Medical Center, we’re all about babies. We love them! And we work to make your experience as comfortable as possible because you love them, too. Our Family Birthing Center promises labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum all in one room, making it much easier on new moms.
And our nurses are specially trained to take care of anything you need. In fact, the same nurse who provides your care will also help care for your baby.
From the comfort of your own home, you may wish to pre-register online.
The New Family Birthing Center
We’re expanding our Center to include additional private birthing rooms, a new family waiting area, an upgraded nursing station and a new C-section suite.
We also offer childbirth, breastfeeding and parenting classes through our Maternity Classes and Events to help guide you through all aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, infant care and safety.
