Giving You Peace of Mind
Decisions. Choices. New responsibilities. Having a baby -- especially for the first time -- can seem like an overwhelming experience. Rest assured, Glendale Memorial Hospital and Health Center has the answers to all your childbirth questions. After all, we've been helping new parents just like you since 1926. We can help you select the right prenatal classes, as well as guide you through your baby's birth -- from start to finish.
In July 2005, the Glendale Memorial Women's Center was the first center in Los Angeles County to receive the "Baby Friendly" designation. This means our Women's Center is certified by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) because we have positive health practices to promote breastfeeding. As a Baby Friendly hospital, we provide information, education and support groups to help moms breastfeed while in the hospital and when they go home. Moms can also return to Glendale Memorial and get help through our Breastfeeding Follow-Up Clinic.
Our Women's Center offers:
- exceptional doctors
- knowledgeable nursing staff
- comfortable labor, delivery and recovery rooms
- state-of-the-art level II neonatal intensive care unit
- breastfeeding resource center
- breastfeeding follow-up clinic
The Women's Center, located on the fifth floor of the hospital, provides luxury, private birthing suites for labor and delivery and postpartum. Also, our Level II NICU provides care for infants with special needs. Women's Outpatient Services, located in the basement level of the hospital, is open to some patients for prenatal care.
Our Breastfeeding Resource Center offers new and expecting moms various breastfeeding services such as lactation visits after delivery, lactation consultations and phone support. We also offer a weekly breastfeeding support group, "The Nursing Mother's Circle," which meets every Thursday from 1 to 3 p.m.
