Genesis Medical Center BirthCenter
Meet The Babies!
Take a look at the latest bundles of joy delivered at Genesis Medical Center!
Introduction
Genesis BirthCenter offers a continuum of services for expectant parents, before, during and after delivery. We provide comprehensive education programs and tours for expectant mothers, fathers and siblings, on topics like birthing choices, baby care and breast-feeding. At the time of birth, the physical and emotional needs of mothers are tended to by a supportive, experienced team of professionals.
Care and Support
In Summer, 2002 a $3.2 million renovation and expansion took place. The new BirthCenter offers the warm ambiance of home; the amenities of a hotel; and technology and tender-loving care from the medical experts who encourage families to take an active role in the birthing process.
The Comforts of Home
Serenity is evident the minute the elevators open to the 5th floor BirthCenter, where an inviting family waiting area welcomes visitors with soft lighting, attractive wood, comfortable furniture and a water wall that emits the soothing sounds of trickling water.
But it’s the all-private, larger patient rooms that win the most accolades from mothers.
Wood floors, lots of natural lighting, rocking chairs, wood armoires with TVs and VCRs, bedspreads and attractive window treatments make them seem more like a bedroom at home than a hospital room. Just like a hotel, private bathrooms have whirlpool tubs and blow dryers and lighting that compliments a new mother’s complexion.
Other amenities in the rooms can range from C.D. players; daybeds on which a support person can sleep; recliners; ample storage; and medical gas hookups “hidden” behind family-friendly pictures. Refrigerators in the rooms enable families to bring in their own refreshments.
