Mason General Hospital Birth Center
Why Choose Mason General Hospital?
It's simple. We have a very caring service in labor and delivery.
Moms are hearing about "Where caring counts. Feel the difference," and want to be a part of such a nurturing environment.
Mom's Needs are Met.
One of the important aspects of our labor and delivery department is giving moms various options in prenatal and delivery care. Mothers-to-be now have the choice of using a local obstetrician, local family practice physicians or a certified nurse-midwife.
In addition to offering the moms a wider selection in providers, we work with the practitioner and mother in implementing her selected birth plan.
We support our moms in how they want to give birth — from having the calming atmosphere of family-aided presence to requiring high tech assistance.
Our goal is to support the mother and family members in sharing a positive birth experience by providing individualized, highly-skilled care.
