The “New Beginnings Birthing Center” is our brand new
obstetrics/maternity department at Bryan Hospital. Our nine large rooms accommodate our new mothers and their families throughout the hospital stay. Mothers will go through labor, delivery, recovery, and post-partum in the comfort of the same hotel like room.

Childbirth is both an emotional and highly technical event. We
strive to meet the emotional needs of the mother and to provide
the highest quality services to ensure a safe delivery of every
newborn.

Our goal is to keep our labor patients as comfortable as possible
with the use of comfort measures, epidurals, birthing balls, and
IV pain medication. We believe in family-centered care, and we
are breastfeeding friendly to our patients.

Working with obstetricians, family practice physicians, and pedia-
tricians, all our staff members are neonatal resuscitation certified
and have completed the University of Virginia Perinatal Program.
Several OB nurses are certified in inpatient obstetrical nursing.

Tours of our birthing center can be arranged by calling the OB
department at 419-636-1131, ext. 14117. We are pleased to
share our unit and our services with expectant mothers and their
families. Tours are part of our Childbirth Education Program.
