Why Choose Concord Hospital?

The private birthing rooms are designed so friends and family can enjoy the new baby in the privacy of one room and mom can relax and rest comfortably. Private baths and whirlpools in each room add to the comfortable surroundings. The virtual tours section of this Web site features an online tour of a birthing room.

Our level II nursery is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and is staffed by highly skilled neonatal nurses. If a baby needs special care, he or she will stay in the nursery where quiet muted colors help reduce over stimulation. In the event moms are discharged before their babies can go home, guest rooms are available for parents to stay.

After each baby's birth, we arrange a "Baby's First Homecoming" visit by a Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association nurse who will examine mom and baby at home and guide them through a comfortable transition after delivery. Moms are encouraged to call or return for individual help should they have concerns after leaving the hospital. The Family Place also offers many support and educational programs for parents as they continue their transition into parenthood.
