Caring for You and Your Baby

From the moment you discover you’re expecting, a unique miracle begins to unfold: the gift of life. Whatever you encounter in the months ahead, you can feel confident that Mercy will provide the exceptional care you and your baby need.
 
In the Childbirth Center, our private suites are combined Labor, Delivery and Recovery (LDR) rooms in one place, with your labor nurse close by when you need her.
 
Your first moments together. Your baby stays tucked close. Time to gaze, snuggle and quietly rock. Nurses from the newborn nursery come to your room to check on your baby. Time to celebrate, hug the grandparents and text your best friend with the news!
