At HealthPark Medical Center we offer spacious
labor, delivery
and recovery rooms (LDRs) and postpartum (Mom/Baby), along
with our 18-bed OB Special
Care Unit. We consider a patient's family and friends a very
important part of care, so fathers and significant others are always
welcome.
HealthPark is one of 11 hospitals in Florida certified as a
Regional Perinatal Intensive Care Center. Our services include
high-risk obstetrical care, Level II & III Neonatal Intensive Care
Units (NICU) and Neonatal Transport Teams. The goal of the program
is to deliver optimal medical care to women with high-risk
pregnancies and newborns with complications. Studies have indicated
that outcomes can be greatly improved by providing this specialized
health care to pregnant women and newborns who are at high risk.
Labor and Delivery Suites
Our Family Birth Suites at HealthPark allow you to stay in one
homey and comfortable room from the time you check in until afte r your baby is born. When your special day arrives, you will be
escorted to one of our spacious birthing
suites. Jacuzzi tubs are available in the room for comfort during
labor if desired. Our team of labor-trained nurses and support staff will be
ready with the latest technology as well as the touch of a hand and
a reassuring voice. If special care is needed for high-risk mothers
and their babies, specialists are just a phone call away.
Mother-Baby Postpartum Suites
We recognize the importance of the mother-baby bonding experience
and make every effort to keep the family together as much as
possible after birth. Babies routinely stay in their mother’s room
during their hospital stay in the mother-baby postpartum suites. While in the Mother-Baby Unit, the nurse
caring for you will also care for your baby and answer your
questions.
We welcome and encourage family participation during the
postpartum period. Our expert nursing staff
helps new parents by teaching them how to bathe, feed and care for
their new babies, as well as offering printed educational information. In addition, we offer the
services of certified lactation consultants for your convenience,
comfort, and breastfeeding success.
OB Special Care
Most pregnancies are a time of joy and anticipation, but
sometimes complications occur during pregnancy that require
hospitalization.
The OB Special Care staff provides professional, specialized care to
families experiencing complications of pregnancy. We understand the
special needs of women and families facing the uncertainty of a
high-risk pregnancy.
Whether your stay is 2 days or 2 months, we provide care designed
just for your and your family through our interdisciplinary team
of registered nurses, board-certified maternal/fetal medicine
doctors, case managers, medical social workers, dieticians and
other staff.
A Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is close by and the
NICU staff is available before your delivery to give you information
on what to expect if your baby should need specialized care.
Family education and lactation consultants are available to prepare
you for childbirth and breastfeeding your infant.
Pet therapy volunteers visit 2-3 times each week for those patients
who are hospitalized for long periods of time, and the staff helps
ease your hospital stay with activities like journaling, art
therapy, crafts, and more
