Maternity
Where do babies come from? If you can answer “Hudson Valley Hospital Center,” your baby is one of the lucky ones!
Why? At our Women’s Pavilion for Birthing, we are dedicated to giving expectant mothers the birth experience they choose – and working toward their comfort every step of the way. Your loved ones are involved during birth and after delivery. And, our expert medical staff provides mothers and babies with top-quality care.
Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess County families choose our hospital for many reasons. We support birth plans as unique as the babies we help bring into the world. We offer deliveries by obstetricians and midwives, we welcome doulas and we encourage you to keep the people you want at your side.
Our Labor and Delivery Suites offers five rooms that pair the comforts of home with state-of-the art equipment. We are the only area hospital to have a whirlpool tub in each birthing room to help speed up delivery and ease pain. In fact, our progressive center is one of the few that allows Water Births.
Our philosophy celebrates those first special moments of a baby’s life. We offer immediate “skin-to-skin” bonding time to all our patients, including those who deliver by Cesarean Section within the birthing suite.
New mothers later move to Private rooms that feel more like a hotel than a hospital. They can have their babies “room in,” knowing our caring staff will provide full support. And families can sleep well knowing that our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit can care for many conditions that arise in premature and full-term babies.
Our approach is centered on the whole family: New dads can spend the night, and grandparents and siblings can be involved through special courses. From the first months of pregnancy through the weeks following birth, we provide a wealth of resources, including Birthing and lactation classes as well as support groups.
Expectant parents can take a tour by calling 914-734-3258.
