Special Touches Nancy Orr Family Center Labor & Delivery Services

To make the birth of your child extra special, we offer several amenities and helpful services:

A Celebration of Life
Your baby receives a delightful welcome. When you and your child are transferred to the Mother/Baby Unit, a person of your choice pushes a Celebration of Life button, and a lullaby plays throughout the Medical Center so that all who hear know a new life has begun.

Internet Babies
After the birth of their baby, parents can have the baby's photo displayed on Sparks website. Parents receive a color copy of the web photo and a computer disk containing the photo.

The Newborn Channel
This in-hospital TV service features entertaining programs on topics of interest to mothers and fathers, 24 hours a day, every day of the week. Your entire family will enjoy The Newborn Channel.
