Mother and Baby Care

At St. John’s Hospital in Lebanon, moms and their new babies aren’t just patients. They’re our neighbors. We’ll show your family the personal care that counts at this most memorable time. And just in case, you’ll have access to the extended resources of Mercy, including the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St. John’s Hospital in Springfield.

More patients choose our small town hospitality and care, and we are consistently rated among the nation’s highest in patient satisfaction. We offer:

Board certified OB/GYNs on staff, keeping you and your baby close to home and family.
A personal birthing experience. Our state-of-the-art birthing suites have everything to ensure a safe delivery in a nurturing, home-like environment. You labor, deliver, recover and bond with your baby all in the same home-like, private room.
Time to bond with your baby. “Rooming in” means you are only separated from your baby for brief periods as needed.
Prenatal classes for expectant parents provides thorough education before and after your baby’s birth, with emphasis on breastfeeding education and support.
