Labor, Delivery, Recovery (LDR)
Hoag’s 18 private LDR (labor, deliver, recovery) suites are found on the fifth floor of Hoag Hospital Newport Beach. These lovely suites provide comfort during labor and quickly transform into fully equipped delivery rooms for childbirth. The LDR unit has three C-section rooms and is staffed round-the-clock with anesthesiologists and OB/GYN Hospitalists.
Mother and Baby Unit
The 49-bed postpartum unit is a sanctuary for new families to recover and bond. Hoag had adopted a policy of “non-separation” and newborns room-in with their mothers in the spacious family-centered postpartum rooms. The nursery is primarily used as a transitional nursery for examinations by a baby’s physician and for circumcisions.
Magnet®-Designated Neonatal Nurses
Hoag attained the Magnet® recognition as part of the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program. This credentialing program for hospitals recognizes excellence in nursing and is the highest honor an organization can receive for professional nursing practices.
Magnet® recognition is the highest designation an organization can receive for professional nursing practice, and our ratio of neonatal nurses-to-patients is exceptionally low to assure excellent care.
Antepartum Unit and Women’s Surgical Services
The specialty antepartum unit on the fourth floor is a 14-bed haven for high-risk obstetric patients who require inpatient services. Comfortable and quiet, this unit has immediate access to operating rooms in the event of an emergency.
Fetal Diagnostic Center & Development Assessment Center
Hoag’s Fetal Diagnostic Center and Development Assessment Center provides a range of antepartum diagnostic services using the latest technology and techniques, including non-stress fetal-heart-rate test (NST) and measurement of the amniotic fluid index (AFI).
OB Triage & Obstetric Emergency Department (OB/ED)
Adjacent to the Labor, Delivery and Recovery (LDR) unit is the three-bed OB Triage and four-room OB/ED that services women over 16 weeks of pregnancy who come to Hoag via the Emergency Department or physician referral.
OB Hospitalists
Providing more than 20 hospital-based, OB/GYN physicians (hospitalists) on-site at Hoag 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, this program is designed to be a safety net for any and all emergencies. These highly-skilled, Board Certified OB/GYNs will provide consistent care to patients in the hospital, as well as emergent care to those arriving in Labor & Delivery.
Obstetric Anesthesia Care
Hoag has received the prestigious SOAP Center of Excellence (COE) designation by the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP).
The SOAP Center of Excellence designation recognizes institutions and programs that demonstrate excellence in obstetric anesthesia care, sets a benchmark level of expected care to improve the standards nationally, and provides a broad surrogate quality metric of institutions providing obstetric anesthesia care.
