Best in Maternity Care
As recipients of the Women's Choice Award for America's Best Hospital in Obstetrics Care from 2014–2021, we're here to offer you the best in maternity care. Hoag’s renowned maternal child services program remains focused on delivering family-centered care through its experienced obstetrical team, maternal-fetal medicine specialists and certified nursing staff. Every element is in place to ensure the safest, most comfortable patient-centered care available.
Hoag is proud to offer a certified Level III B Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) which is the highest level of care needed for any newborn. The NICU is in close proximity to labor and delivery and is prepared with state-of-the-art equipment to care for even the neediest newborn. A neonatologist and specialized nursing team are on-site 24/7.
Yes, we can handle any type of high-risk birth, including multiple births (twins, triplets, quads). Neonatologists and OB intensivists work in collaboration with a patient’s OB to ensure the safest, most well-planned delivery and care of both mom and baby.
When you arrive to deliver, you will be admitted directly to our OB triage area and your status will be assessed. When it is determined that you are in labor, you will be moved to a labor and delivery room. More complete information about the entire delivery experience at Hoag is available during our pre-delivery classes, both in-person and online.
Hoag embraces the theory that newborns benefit from direct contact with the mother immediately after delivery, so newborns room-in with their mothers. Your postpartum nurse will help you have the most positive bonding experience possible.
Mothers who deliver with no complications are often eager to go home the day after delivering. 80% of mothers who have an uncomplicated C-section are back in the comfort of their own home by the third day after delivery.
As a certified Baby Friendly™ Hospital, our staff has specialized training in lactation. For new moms who experience nursing challenges, International Board Certified Lactation Consultants are available daily. Hoag also offers a breastfeeding clinic and BabyLine phone service to help you during the postpartum adjustment period.
From lovely, private spacious rooms, to a private celebration meal after delivery, families who deliver at Hoag report the highest level of satisfaction.
