| Over 40,000 babies have been brought into the world at Newman’s Women’s Life Center; or more than 500 miracles of life each year. The Women’s Life Center features the LDR concept, where labor, delivery, and recovery all occur in private home-like birthing rooms.
Today, more than ever, the focus at Newman Regional Health is on the family. Birth is a very personal experience. The Women’s Life Center is designed to allow families the freedom to choose the birth experience most meaningful to them.
Parents enjoy the closeness and tremendous family bonding that occurs during the earliest moments of life. After delivery, the nursing staff closely observes the mother and baby should complications arise. A lactation consultant is available for breastfeeing mothers who need assistance after delivery. The Parenting Center has various breastfeeding products for sale or rent. Lay-away and gift registry is available.
Mothers can enjoy ongoing support at the Parenting Center through the Weigh to Grow! class held Monday mornings and Tuesday evenings. There are also Prenatal Classes to help prepare the mother for her upcoming birth experience. A breastfeeding class is also offered for a fee of $10.00. Please call the Parenting Center at 620-343-6800, ext. 4477 for upcoming dates and times or visit our Calendar of Events to register for an upcoming class.
