Family Birthing Center
Barton’s Family Birthing Center offers beautiful, spacious suites for expecting families and their babies. Expecting parents will labor, deliver and recover in their own private birthing suite that include amenities such as rocking chairs, flat screen televisions, refrigerators, wireless internet access and private showers. Each room has a fold-out bed so family members can comfortably spend the night.
The atmosphere at The Family Birthing Center is matched only by the expert level of care you receive. The Family Birthing Center maintains a care team consisting of board-certified obstetricians, pediatric hospitalists, pediatricians, and nursing staff that are committed to supporting and empowering expecting parents and their families.
Barton's board-certified OB/GYN physicians are trained in vaginal birth after a cesarean, or VBAC, and the Barton Family Birthing Center offers this option in a medical environment for mothers who have previously had a baby via a C-section delivery.
