Our team of providers and health care professionals provides the most compassionate, comprehensive and advanced care available to ensure the safest and most comfortable experience for you and your new baby. Throughout your pregnancy, childbirth and beyond, we provide the services you need to make sure your baby has the healthiest start possible.

Labor and Delivery

When it's time to have your baby, you want the comfort of knowing you’re at a hospital dedicated to you. We believe in individualized, family-centered care. Whether you’re delivering in Council Bluffs, Omaha or Fremont, you’ll have the amenities and resources necessary to ensure the safest, most comfortable delivery possible.

Recovery and Postpartum

After labor and delivery, your focus immediately shifts to caring for your new baby. But tending to your own physical and emotional well-being is just as important. We promise to do our best to ensure that you’re ready to handle the challenges of parenthood while prioritizing your comfort and privacy. In addition to the amenities our hospitals provide, we offer lactation services for new mothers as they navigate breastfeeding. During your stay, our caring nurses will also provide personalized guidance to help you manage any postpartum concerns, including breast and vaginal soreness, hemorrhoids, urination problems, and the sometimes confusing emotions that many new moms experience.
