Women's & Children's Services
At St. Joseph's, we believe in the family-centered care concept. Our Women's Services include spacious labor and delivery rooms, labor observation rooms, as well as beautifully decorated patient rooms for post-partum and gynecological patients.
Our designated pediatric unit is decorated in a Noah's Ark theme. The rooms are equipped with TV VCR/DVD players. Pediatric patients have the opportunity to receive a toy or book either during their stay or at discharge. These services are all designed with your entire family in mind -- from bringing a new child into your life to providing care and treatment to one who is ill or injured.
We offer Childbirth and Sibling Classes to expectant parents. To the pediatric population we offer Teddy Bear Clinics and the Trauma Roo Program.
The nurses working in the Obstetrical Unit are required to be certified in NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program), ACLS (Advanced Critical Life Support), and STABLE (a program focused exclusively on the post resuscitation/pre transport/stabilization care of sick neonates).
The nurses working in the Pediatric Department are required to be certified in PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) and ENPC (Emergency Nursing Pediatric Course).
When choosing St. Joseph’s Hospital for your Maternal-Child needs, you can be confident that you and your family’s healthcare needs will be met by qualified nursing staff in a compassionate manner.
St. Joseph's Hospital is the only hospital in the area to offer Pediatric sedation for MRI procedures.
