Support from Your Care Team

The Birthing Center at OSF St. Mary Medical Center is large enough to provide a comprehensive range of services, yet small enough to assure personalized care for you and your family. We offer:

Level II nursery services where infants are cared for by specially trained nurses, including neonatal nurse practitioners, who closely monitor and observe them 24/7.
A full team of board-certified obstetricians, with support from a certified nurse-midwife and natural family planning services.
The latest in ultrasound technology to monitor your child's development, with an entire team certified in neonatal resuscitation.
Board-certified maternal-fetal providers available to care for those with high-risk pregnancies and deliveries.
The latest delivery equipment, including dedicated c-section suite, Level II nursery, triage space and wireless fetal monitoring.
Tele NICU services from OSF HealthCare Children's Hospital of Illinois for babies who need special care after delivery. Expert neonatologists consult with your in-person care team digitally. If your baby needs in-person NICU care, these services are just a short distance away, without the need to travel to Chicago or St. Louis.
On-site pediatricians to help monitor and ensure baby is healthy from the start.
