Women's
Hospital opened in 1950 as a center dedicated to the care of pregnant
women in a family atmosphere. Fiscal year 2001 saw the births of 3,712
babies in the 66,822 square foot facility. Women's Hospital is Southeast
Michigan's regional perinatal center for high-risk pregnancies. A variety
of specialized outpatient gynecological services are provided in such
areas as gynecology/oncology, endocrinology, infertility and psychosexual
counseling.
The hospital's 28-room, 32-maternity bed Birth Center was one of the first facilities in the country to offer single-room maternity care to all mothers and families. The Birth Center allows women to labor, give birth, recover and keep their babies with them in one private room until it is time to go home.
The U-M Hospitals also include the James and Lynelle Holden Perinatal Intensive Care Unit and the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit. The Holden unit was established in 1972 to provide continuity of care for women with complicated pregnancies, newborn infants experiencing exceptional medical problems and infants who may need continuous treatment during childhood. There are few health systems elsewhere in the country with this special arrangement of facilities. The 181,573 square foot unit has two delivery rooms, a 37-bed intensive care nursery and research laboratories.
The
Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit provides a comprehensive range
of psychiatric services to patients from infancy to young adulthood using
multiple diagnostic assessment technologies (such as sleep electroencephalography)
in each patient's room and outpatient psychiatric clinics. Clinical staff
psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, activity therapists and social workers
are engaged in research and patient care.
