At Little Company of Mary Hospital – Torrance, the highlight of the new unit
are birthing suites. Each suite is equipped with a birthing bed, which is comfortable
for the mother during labor and can be quickly converted for delivery. There is a
place in the suites for the father or significant other to stay, as well as room for
other family members who wish to participate in the birthing experience. Most exciting,
there is room in these suites for a bassinet, so mothers can remain with their babies
throughout their stay at the hospital. We’ve also included many special touches
to make the stay more comfortable and special:
• Private bathrooms with showers in each suite, with availability
of bathtubs for labor relaxation
• Refrigerators, video and internet access
• Labor bar to ease the labor process
Rest assured that aside from all the niceties the new suites have to offer, the safety
of mother and baby is our priority Patients who deliver by caesarean section will be moved
to a family centered post surgical area that provides the same degree of personalized,
compassionate care. All suites include fetal monitoring and birthing equipment, and if
special medical attention is needed for the newborn, direct access to our Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit and neonatologist are available. In addition, our extensive commitment
to infant security will add peace of mind to the new parents and family, so that everyone
can relax and get the rest they need.
