UHD provides personalized support to women through all stages of pregnancy, from pre-conception through pregnancy, labor, delivery and immediately after childbirth. Our Obstetrics staff includes family medicine doctors with an obstetrics specialty. They can provide care for you and your newborn, in addition to lifelong preventive care for your entire family. They work to ensure that each pregnancy culminates in the delivery of a healthy baby, without impairing the health of the mother.
Throughout your pregnancy, you’ll find all the services that you will need are on-site, including prenatal checkups, lab services, ultrasound and non-stress testing. You can also explore breastfeeding options with our certified lactation consultants.
When it’s time to deliver, our renovated birthing suites include modern amenities, such as a desk station, refrigerator and sleeper sofa for supporting family members. Your delivery experience is capped off with a special Celebration Dinner for two, selected from a custom menu and served with sparkling cider and dessert.
Whether you are confirming your pregnancy or looking for ongoing primary care, our obstetric practitioners are here to develop and nurture a relationship with you for generations to come.
