Maternal Child Services


As the long anticipated day of your baby's birth approaches, you may feel excited, happy, worried and fearful. Learning what to expect and preparing for the big event are important ways you can help yourself and your baby.

Choosing to have your baby delivered at Madera Community Hospital will insure you the convenience that you will need. We offer complete labor and delivery service facilities to insure you a safe delivery and full recovery. In Madera Community Hospital's Labor and Delivery Department, experienced, attentive nurses expertly monitor and guide both mother and baby during the entire birthing process. We offer some of the best services for expectant mothers and their babies. From childbirth education to a positive birthing experience we are dedicated to providing families with a warm, relaxed atmosphere in which to experience one of life's greatest moments.

Madera Community Hospital offers:


The concept of family-centered care is advocated throughout the Labor & Delivery unit. The Labor & Delivery unit is designed to convey a home-like feel and features 4 tastefully decorated, private labor, delivery and recovery suites. Each Labor and Delivery Room is equipped with equipment for monitoring mother and baby and for delivery in the room. Most deliveries occur in the private suites, but the operating room and special care nursery are nearby should a complication arise.

Registered nurses support the family through the birth process. For some mothers that may mean complex medical intervention, but for many it may mean simple comfort measures, such as leisurely showers and walking with their family. No matter what the birth experience, labor and delivery nurses are there to guide and assist Mom.

Education is an important part of the labor and delivery experience as well. Madera Community Hospital offers extensive classes and parenting resources before and after delivery. Parents can preview the hospital in the OB Tour and choose from classes in childbirth, breastfeeding and infant care.
