Supportive and compassionate care from pregnancy planning to postpartum

We bring together a diverse team of specialists, including OB/GYNs, midwives, doulas, nurse practitioners and support staff, all focused on you. No matter what your needs are, we’ve got you covered. 

Our team-based approach ensures our patients receive highly personalized care. For patients who develop complications during pregnancy, we also work with our maternal-fetal medicine colleagues who are experts in high-risk pregnancies.

Family-centered pregnancy care

Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy, childbirth or bringing your newborn home, we want you to feel comfortable, confident and involved in your care plan. With a legacy of comprehensive and compassionate care, we provide an array of prenatal and parent classes for you and your loved ones. Our support resources are designed to help you navigate every stage of your prenatal and postpartum journey. 

When it comes time to deliver your baby, Jefferson Health experts encourage rooming-in to enhance bonding and breastfeeding, with sleep chairs to ensure your support person has a comfortable place to rest during your stay, as well as quiet and private post-partum rooms at varying locations.
