Starting in June, the Center will be making improvements to the labor and delivery unit, post-partum unit and newborn nursery including new furniture. Patient rooms will get recliners, a sleep bench for overnight visitors and updated bathrooms.
New bassinettes and baby warmers will be added to the labor and delivery rooms. Selected rooms will offer workspace for dads, sleeping quarters and wireless internet connections. Currently, the hospital offers 2 princess suites for a small fee; private rooms with a private bathroom and flat screen television. The renovations will convert additional rooms into private rooms.
