The Center for Childbirth offers a family-centered approach to the childbirth experience.
We recognize that each family has their own desires for childbirth. Our goal is to meet these needs in a relaxed, flexible and comforting environment.
The Valley Approach to the Childbirth Experience
At The Center for Childbirth, you will be cared for by a team of doctors, midwives, residents, nurses, and support staff dedicated to providing medical care in a comfortable and private environment.
When you are admitted for labor and delivery, you will enter one of our Labor Delivery Recovery (LDR) rooms. LDR rooms allow the birthing patient to labor, deliver, and recover in a modern setting that combines a beautiful homelike environment with sophisticated medical technology.
Our private rooms provide a warm and comfortable setting for new parents, their babies, and their visiting family.
The Center for Childbirth is also equipped with state-of-the-art cesarean delivery rooms and a Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Pasteurized Human Donor Breast Milk (PHDM): To support you on your exclusive breast milk feeding journey, any infant in postpartum and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with a medical necessity requiring supplementation, or any parent requesting supplementation, is a candidate for donor breast milk. This allows parents who want to remain exclusively breast milk feeding the option to provide their infant with supplementation if needed. Pasteurized human donor breast milk is no longer provided if formula is provided as supplementation. For more information, ask your provider or staff when delivering.
