For over three decades Eastside Medical Center has been assisting families with their child birthing choices. Our highly skilled, experienced physicians and nurses work together in order to provide our patients and expectant families with optimal care and service.

Our labor and delivery suites are modeled for maximum space and comfort that offer our mothers a private delivery area, private bath and shower along with a fold out bed for the comfort and relaxation of your labor coach.

The staff at Eastside recognizes the importance of support by friends and family at this special time and will work together with them to enhance their experience during this very special celebration.

In the event of an unexpected complication, we are fully prepared to react immediately with operating rooms that are maintained 24/7 for the benefit and safety of Mother and Baby.

Following delivery and recovery, Mother and Baby are relocated to our Mother-Baby unit where couplet care is provided giving the new family time to bond, introduce the newborn to family members and friends, and give Mother and newborn the freedom and privacy to practice breastfeeding.

Our nurses have many years of practical, as well as inservice education that maintains and updates their knowledge in the field of lactation. In the event of complications or challenges with breastfeeding your newborn, Eastside provides two lactation specialists who are available to assist new mothers as needed.

Prior to discharge we offer and encourage our new mothers and family members to attend a discharge session where their questions can be answered by a nurse who specializes in the care of a newborn. Forty-eight hours following discharge the family will receive a follow up phone call to see if there are any follow-up questions and ensure that the transition from hospital to home is progressing nicely.
