Birth Center
If you’re expecting soon, you can expect warm and welcoming care from our safe and ready birth center. We’re here for you and your newborn through every step of the delivery process.
Our Services
Private and spacious suites for labor, delivery and recovery are designed to support you and your newborn. Comfort features include adjustable beds, jetted tubs and reclining sleepers for your coach. Each suite is also fully equipped to help ensure safe delivery and outstanding medical care for the first hours of your child’s life.
If you require a cesarean section, we have dedicated surgical suites so you will be able to deliver your baby in an operating room located right in our maternity unit.
After your baby is born and you’ve had time to recover, you can enjoy another private room where nurses with specialized training will care for you and your baby. We also encourage mother baby couplet care, where mothers keep their babies in their rooms, giving families time to bond and helping new parents learn to care for their infant with professional assistance.

Infant security
Our comprehensive infant security plan is designed to protect our tiniest patients and to help ensure they stay safe in the hospital. In addition to other security measures, we use a high-tech electronic surveillance system to keep track of each baby. Following the delivery of your baby, we place a small monitoring band around your baby’s ankle, where it remains until you are discharged.
The band, which is completely safe, transmits an electronic signal to a nursing station and alerts nurses if a baby ever moves too close to a birth center exit. This band also provides reliable location-tracking and monitoring throughout the entire hospital. With this secure system in place, you can have peace of mind that your baby is safe at Holy Cross Hospital - Davis.
