Let our family help you create your family. North Country Hospital’s Birthing Center has 4 beautiful birthing rooms. These intimate, warmly decorated rooms let you have your baby in a special setting with all of the comfort and privacy of your bedroom and a relaxing whirlpool tub. You will still have all of the medical attention and modern equipment of a traditional delivery room. The birthing room concept allows the family to participate in the birth in a relaxed atmosphere.
North Country Hospital’s Maternal/ Child Department has been well-known for its philosophy of family-centered care for quite some time. During your stay with us, a designated support person is welcome to spend the night if a bed is available.
The birthing rooms are a part of our family-centered care and make it possible for all of our moms to enjoy a family birthing experience if they wish. You are welcome to come to visit anytime and see the birthplace of your family.
North Country Hospital, as a promoter of optimal health care, has been dedicated to the success of breastfeeding mothers and babies through the Lactation Program since its beginning twenty-one years ago.
