We are delighted to provide our Tender Care service to moms-to-be as well as after delivery. Tender Care is an opportunity for you and your support person to sit down one-on-one with a nurse before you deliver and also shortly after delivery.
Prenatal Tender Care:
We hope to see you before you deliver at about 36-38 weeks gestation. At this time, you will be able to pre-register, complete paperwork; discuss labor options and birth plans; review feeding preferences, visitation and patient care; and tour the unit.
