Director: Cosmas J M Van De Ven, M.D.

The Women's Hospital Birthing Center is designed to care for both low and high-risk pregnant patients throughout their labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum (LDRP) hospital stay. The Birthing Center is comprised of two units designated Women's East and Women's West. The East unit is dedicated primarily to the peripartum management of high-risk patients. The East unit functions as an obstetric intensive care unit that has three triage rooms, eight LDRP's , three operating rooms and a three-bed post-anesthesia care unit. The West unit is dedicated to the management of low-risk patients from the prepartum period through labor and delivery and on into the postpartum period. This unit has 21 LDRP rooms. Tracevue, a computer based fetal and uterine monitoring system is operational in both units. Centrally placed monitors continuously display activity on all patients in active labor. The Women's Birthing Center has three operating rooms and a complete recovery room. The region's most advanced and sophisticated neonatal intensive care unit is just a few steps away from the Obstetrics operating room suite.
