The Freestanding Birth Center......There is a difference

Lakeland Birth Center | Dunedin Birth Center | Tampa Birth Center

A major difference between freestanding Birth Centers and hospitals, is that hospitals create policies to care for people who are sick, while Freestanding Birth Centers design programs for healthy pregnant women.  Birth Centers offer the personal yet comprehensive care that every expectant mother and her family deserve.
 

A Birth Center Director Explains...

"In the Birth Center we view pregnancy and birth as normal, healthy events in the life of a family.  We promote wellness and positive attitudes about birth and parenting.  We watch, test, and examine carefully for the beginning of problems and treat them early so that we can prevent small problems from becoming big ones.

We take the time to help you understand the many choices you have in your birth experience.  We listen to you and counsel with you so that we can develop a trust in one another.  We work together throughout your pregnancy, labor, birth, and early weeks of parenting.  We stay with you from the moment you arrive in labor until you leave with your new baby.

Although emergencies in the center are rare, if it becomes necessary for you to be referred for care in the hospital, we are trained and equipped to begin treatment and to transport you or your baby safely to our associated hospital.  We stay with you in the hospital as long as possible.  In many cases you can return to our Birth Center for care after your birth.

At our center we pamper new mothers by offering postpartum and breastfeeding support, etc, family planning and women's health care.  We want our center to be a place that you can turn to as new parents."

Why settle for anything less...

A freestanding birth center will give you...care that is founded on the highest standards of quality health services...care that respects you as a person and responds to your individual needs...care that is both safe and sensitive for you and your baby."
