What makes Jefferson Memorial a special place for moms and babies?
Individualized Care – Our nurse-to-patient ratio is usually 1:3 or less. This means you get the special attention you need during this important time of your life. Our qualified staff of experienced OB nurses are here to support you during all stages of your pregnancy, labor, delivery and recovery.
Continuity of Care – All of our nurses are cross-trained for every aspect of the birthing process as well as caring for your special newborn. The same nurse will take care of you during labor, delivery and the postpartum period.
Smaller is Better – When you’re a patient at Jefferson Memorial Hospital , you will know you’re a patient with a name, not just a room number. We are fully equipped with fetal monitors, infant warmers and 24 hour respiratory therapists to handle any emergency; and our recently renovated unit has been decorated with the new mom in mind .
Services:
- In addition to labor, delivery, postpartum and nursery services, we are here for your Antepartum care for those experiencing problems with the pregnancy such as pre-term labor, kidney infections or other problems that your physician determines needs to be cared for in a hospital setting.
- We are equipped for Cesarean Sections, vacuum deliveries, D&C’s, Tubal Ligations, and newborn circumcisions.
- Our staff is trained to care for your newborn who may need IV fluids, antibiotics, apnea monitoring or phototherapy.
- We are equipped for twin deliveries and most premature infants over 34 weeks gestation can be cared for at our hospital until they can be discharged home.
- Our nursery is also equipped to receive any premature infant that required NICU care and is now ready to gain weight before being discharged home to mom & dad.
- Breastfeeding support – all of the staff are trained to assist the new mother with breastfeeding. In addition, we have literature and videos to make the mom feel more comfortable with her decision. Should the need arise for breastpumping, we have that available as well.
