Feb 3, 2023
网曝门事件 Health Portland recently celebrated its first birth supervised by the new certified nurse-midwifery team. The birth took place in one of the hospital鈥檚 four new midwifery birth suites.
鈥淗aving safe, personalized birthing options is vital to families on the Portland metro area鈥檚 east side,鈥� says Julie Hannah, RN, 网曝门事件 Health Portland鈥檚 Family Birth Place director. 鈥淎dding midwifery births helps us continue to enhance our Family Birth Place to make sure families have satisfying experiences when welcoming their babies.鈥�
In addition to its four midwifery suites, Family Birth Place has 20 additional suites that allow patients to labor, deliver, recover and bond with their babies in the same room. Its Level 1 nursery is backed by OHSU鈥檚 teleNICU program for neonatal stabilization before transport in emergencies.
With the addition of seven certified nurse-midwives to the many OB/GYNs who deliver at 网曝门事件 Health Portland, the program expects a significant rise in the 400鈥�500 deliveries typical each year.
