                      Labor and Delivery


                      We're very proud to be chosen by thousands of families each year as their place to bring a new baby into the world. We work hard to make sure that this trust is earned and expectations are exceeded.

                      First is the staff – dedicated, experienced professionals devoted to caring for mom, baby and the whole family. And we aren't just referring to doctors and nurses. You'll be escorted into the Birthplace by a hospitality team member. Your escort will see to it that you arrive safely and that your support person is given a brief orientation of the hospital and its amenities.

                      BirthplaceThe 5-Star Service continues with every team member at Dupont Hospital you come in contact with. Of course, we're proud of our facility. Designed with input from physicians and nurses, the Birthplace was built from the ground up for your safety, comfort and convenience. Even though the rooms have hotel-style amenities, they feature technology that can be invaluable to your physician.

                      Not every birth is the same for every mother, so we provide mothers with options that help them create a more natural labor experience that is fit for them. Moms-to-be can choose different approaches to laboring and indicate pain management preferences.

                      Support is welcome

                      Your support person, the one you rely on for support and encouragement, is welcome in the delivery room. Other family members may be allowed, but you should talk with your physician to make sure. Some families may wish to take advantage of our Family Birthing Suite. Call (260) 416-3042 for more information.

                      We hope to be part of your baby's birth. Take a look at the prenatal classes we offer for everyone from new moms and coaches to soon-to-be big brothers and sisters. Everything we do is for your comfort and well-being. The Dupont Difference is the way we care for you before, during and after the birth of your child.
