Our maternity service is dedicated to meeting your needs before, during, and after childbirth. Our unit offers birthing rooms where mothers can labor and deliver, featuring the latest medical equipment in a comfortable home-like setting.
Our experienced nurses are trained to use the most up-to-date equipment and techniques. While a safe delivery is our primary responsibility, we carefully consider the emotional needs of you and your family.

Visiting Guidelines
- We have visiting guidelines to protect our patients, their families, other visitors, and staff from potentially contagious diseases.
- Visitors are allowed between 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. at our main entrance in the waiting room.
- We are a secured unit. Visitors must use the buzzer in the hallway to gain entrance.
