Maternity

Our Philosophy

Our community is our family. We believe every interaction is an opportunity to build relationships and loyalty by listening to our patients, anticipating their care needs, collaborating with care partners in our region and engaging with our community. This includes: 

• Collaborating with women before, during and after their journey to motherhood, including supporting personalized birthing plans.
• Offering a full spectrum of mother-baby services from general obstetrics and maternal fetal medicine to a level III NICU staffed by Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia neonatologists.
• Providing a wide variety of mother-baby programs and classes that complement our maternity services both before and after delivery.
• Offering a staff of highly qualified and compassionate physicians, nurses and midwives.
• Focusing on quality and safety, as evidenced by Healthgrades recognition.
