See our babies.

Welcome to our Family Birth Center. As you approach our department, you will see our beautiful waiting room equipped with a fire place and large windows facing the East. This lovely waiting area is dedicated to Lorene Petrie for her trust's generous gift to our hospital.

We have 5 spacious delivery suites, each contain a Jacuzzi tub and everything needed for labor delivery and post partum care of you and your new baby. In most cases, routine deliveries spend their whole stay in the same room. All of our post partum rooms are private.

We encourage rooming in with your new baby. We encourage breast feeding and provide support. We will give you the information to make informed decisions about you and your baby's care.

Our nurses are specially trained in Labor and Delivery, post partum and new born care. We have several nurses that are specialty certified in Obstetrical nursing. Our staff consists of mainly RNs with LPN's and CNA's also providing you with quality care.

We have five Family practice physicians and one OBGYN that deliver here at Sunnyside Community Hospital. We also have a pediatrician available to care for your new baby if you so desire.

As an expectant mother, your care will be individualized to meet your needs and desires if possible. The Family Birth Center staff's goal is to provide you with the birth experience that you are hoping for. Your physician and nurse will keep you informed as to the options we offer during your labor, delivery and post partum time. Anesthesia staff is available to help with pain management if the need arises.

Our childbirth education classes are held monthly, both in English and Spanish. They are designed for the expectant mothers and her coach. Most insurance and medical coupons cover these classes. For more information and class dates please call the Family Birth Center at (509) 837-1536.
