Before that perfect moment, you must make many decisions.  Woodland Heights Medical Center makes choosing a hospital easy.

 

Labor and Delivery

 

If you are thinking about having a baby, you probably know that the first nine months of your baby's life can be the most important. Woodland Heights Medical Center offers a variety of classes to help you throughout your pregnancy and prepare you for that special day. Our staff is with you every step of the way - with the right combination of advanced medical technology and tender loving care.  Click here to see our childbirth class schedule.


We believe nothing is more precious than the gift of motherhood and that nobody delivers maternity services like Woodland Heights Medical Center. Woodland Heights offers a number of special services for mothers-to-be and their families.

 

Our obstetrical team is exceptional, and its members each have a minimum of 15 years experience in OB. The team has received advanced certification for fetal monitoring from the Association of Women's Health Obstetrics and
Neonatal Nurses. Our team combines outstanding technical training with a
focus on delivering quality care in a comfortable and professional atmosphere.

 

Labor & Delivery Suites

 

Your birth experience can come to life in one of our luxurious and spacious birthing suites.  Beautifully decorated in cool comforting colors, each room contains elegant wood furnishings and your own private bath. 

  

 The Highest Comfort Possible

 

It is our goal to ensure all guests are as comfortable as possible.  In coordination with your physician, our staff will assist you with everything from selecting pain relief methods to choosing to have your baby in the room with you after delivery.  The right staff and facilities are here for you.  Highly skilled anesthesia team members are available 24 hours a day to provide your prescribed pain relief services.  After delivery, your private post-partum room allows you to welcome visitors during the hospital visitation hours.  You also may choose to keep your newborn with you or in our secured and fully staffed nursery.  Even dads can stay overnight at no extra charge.

 

Welcome Baby!

 

Woodland Heights Medical Center has delivered more than 10,000 babies since the Hospital opened in 1918.  Click on the link in the birth announcement to see the baby's webpage.  We post most photographs of babies born at our hospital within 48 to 72 hours of birth with the parent’s permission.
