Mother and Baby Care
There are few events happier than welcoming a new child into the world. Our childbirth centers allow your family to take part in the experience by providing warm and convenient surroundings. We do it for nearly 20,000 babies each year, but our focus is also on creating a unique and special experience for every family. We work closely with moms and families to make it happen.
We deliver the care you expect, close to home. And when you need the additional expertise and support of specialists during your pregnancy, or even after your baby is born, it is available for you. Since every member of your Mercy care team uses your (and your baby’s) electronic health record to manage your health, you’ll receive better, more convenient care from people who already understand your needs.
Whether you’re expecting or just planning your family, we’ll be there from the beginning, and stay with you as your baby grows.

- More than 125 pediatric specialists and subspecialists for your growing baby.
- Special technology in many locations to introduce your baby to important family members who can’t visit the hospital.
