Well Baby Nursery
Located within the Mom/Baby Unit is our Well Baby Nursery. Here, full-term babies will receive the medical attention they need during their first few days, including regular physical examination, vaccination (if needed), circumcision (for boys), and a first bath. While we encourage parents to room-in with their newborns, nurses are available 24-hours/day in the Well Baby Nursery to help care for your child.
