A Focus on High-Risk Pregnancies
Despite the national decline in birth rates, the hospital has witnessed a rise in high-risk pregnancies. Mothers are older, with higher rates of obesity and chronic illnesses, and there is an increased use of fertility treatments. This has resulted in a need for specialized care and a dedicated team of professionals to manage complex cases.
Multidisciplinary Approach to Medicine
The Memorial Regional Hospital Family Birthplace features a multidisciplinary approach to medicine, ensuring that mothers with complications receive comprehensive care. Daily meetings are held between doctors, including pediatric specialists from neighboring Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, to review treatment plans and provide the highest level of care.
Pregnant Mothers Can Expect the Best
Expecting mothers can enjoy private rooms with a couch for family or friends, a refrigerator, and a spa-like bath. The space also features a simulation lab for doctor training, meditation rooms, and a 24/7 on-call obstetric team to provide peace of mind.
Expertise in Treating Complex Cases
Memorial Regional has become renowned for its expertise in treating women with placenta accreta spectrum, a condition that increases the risk of complications during delivery. The hospital has a dedicated team of specialists, including maternal-fetal medicine experts, to provide top-notch care and reduce the risk to mothers and babies.
Conclusion
The Memorial Regional Hospital Family Birthplace offers a unique blend of modern facilities, cutting-edge technology, and a team of specialists dedicated to providing the highest level of care.
