Birth Center
Located within Osceola Medical Center, the Birth Center is for women seeking a natural childbirth experience, allowing them to remain in the same suite for labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum care. You’ll get the one-on-one attention of a smaller facility with the latest technology you’d expect at a larger hospital.
Our three birthing suites are spacious, bright and attractively furnished. Each is designed with the comfort of the mom and her partner in mind, with the technology needed to monitor and care for the mom and baby throughout labor, delivery and postpartum recovery.
