Family Birth Center

Making a Memorable Experience

Are you expecting a baby?

Congratulations!

The birth of a child can be one of life's most cherished and fulfilling moments. Boone County Hospital has four birthing suites. Our beautiful spacious suites are designed to make you and your family feel relaxed and comfortable...and, more like home.

We Treat You Like Family

• Labor, delivery, recovery, and postpartum suites are big enough to accommodate the entire family.
• We pamper new moms and babies.
• Prior to discharge, mom and her significant other are treated to a specially prepared meal.
• Many pain management options such as epidurals, aroma therapy, music therapy, a birthing ball, and back massages are available during the birthing experience.
• The nursery is equipped with the latest in medical technology.
• Newborn hearing screens are available.
• Each family will receive a diagper bag and other free items prior to discharge.

We pride ourselves in providing mom and baby with personalized care. You'll feel empathy and compassion in the way we care for you. We will do everything we can to alleviate any fears or discomfort you may have. Your nurse will help with the flow of communication between you, your doctor, and the rest of the staff. And, because our birthing rooms are next to the nursing station, your nurse will never be more than a few steps away.
