Have you heard?  More Moms than ever are choosing Capital Region Medical Center for their childbirth experience!  Our Moms work closely with a team of obstetric caregivers to design a care plan that’s right for them.  Education is the cornerstone of our obstetric care and family involvement is promoted throughout the process.  Our physicians, nurses and other medical professionals of the obstetrics team believe that each childbearing experience is unique.  We take a family-centered approach.  All patient rooms are beautifully decorated and provide privacy and homelike comfort in order to enhance the bonding process between parents and infants. For patients with uncomplicated pregnancies, the entire birthing process takes place in one room--the Labor, Delivery, Recovery and Postpartum (LDRP) room. A variety of classes are offered to prepare families for the birth of their baby.

The Family Maternity Center is located on the first floor, just inside the Main Lobby, of the Medical Center.The unit contains five LDRP rooms, six extended recovery rooms, a well-baby and Level II Nursery and a c-section room located within the Family Maternity Center.

Be sure to take the 360 degree virtual tour from the link on our home page.  Or, to schedule a personal tour, or learn moreabout the Family Maternity Center, please email the Childbirth Education Coordinator , or call (573) 632-5341.
