To help you prepare for your childbirth experience, we offer a variety of family-centered classes, including "Breastfeeding Basics," "Getting to Know Your Newborn," "Preparing for Childbirth" and "Infant CPR." After baby is born, you can join valuable support groups to help you adjust to motherhood by giving you a chance to ask questions, compare notes and swap stories with other new moms.

Delicious, made-to-order entrées and snacks are available via room service. Day or night, we'll help you relax with room service, in-room movies, a rocking chair, a spacious shower and even a sleeper sofa for the family. Sounds like a hotel, doesn't it? We even offer two family birthing suites with tubs to comfort mothers during labor.
