Comfortable, Private Delivery Rooms

The Labor and Delivery unit is designed to convey a home-like feel and features four nicely 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 is nearby should a need arise.

Our nurses support the family throughout the birth process. For most mothers, that means simple comfort measures, such as leisurely showers and walking with their family. No matter what your birth experience entails, labor and delivery nurses are there to guide and assist Mom and the family.

Preparing for Your Baby

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.
