Why Choose Palos for Maternity Care

Family-Centered Care

At Palos Community Hospital, we believe that families - not just babies - are born here. Our philosophy of care is family-centered, so from the moment of birth, we give parents the opportunity to bond with their infant and to form a close family connection.

An integral part of the birthing experiencing at Palos is our single-room maternity care. That means labor, delivery, recovery and the postpartum stay all take place in a same private room. Single-room maternity care offers the best of both worlds - the comfort, privacy and pleasant décor of home combined with the safety and security of state-of-the-art medical equipment.

Compassionate Care Team

At Palos, we believe in mother-baby nursing care, in which new mothers and their infants receive care from the same experienced and educated registered nurse. The registered nurses who staff our Lactation Center are all International Board Certified Lactation Consultants, and they provide professional and personalized education and support, as well as ongoing assistance, for establishing and maintaining a successful nursing relationship.  Learn more about our Care Team.
