At JFK Memorial Hospital, we deliver approximately 3,500 babies a year, so we pride ourselves with an experienced and caring staff. Our emphasis is on the health of your baby (and you) throughout your pregnancy, during your delivery and after you're at home.

While having a baby is one of the greatest events of your life, a woman's health is important at every age. This is why we provide the support of specialized physicians and a variety of programs through our gynecological services.

Our Obstetrics & Gynecology Services include:

 Obstetrical Care for Low Risk Pregnancies                        

 Maternal Child Education

• Maternal Child Education begins when the patient arrives and continues until the patient is discharge.  Education is family focused and is intended to prepare parents, not just to care for their baby when they go home, but to care for themselves, as well. 

• We are also proud to offer parents additional learning opportunities with the use of the Newborn Channel which is available 24 hours a day in the hospital in both English and Spanish.

• Other educational resources include:
• Diabetic Teaching for the Expectant Mother
• On-staff Lactation Consultants
• Perinatal Loss Grief Counseling.
