Maternity

Mothers-to-be know best: In 2019, we delivered more than 8,300 babies. Experience? We've been doing it more than 150 years.

Many of our physicians hold positions of leadership in national medical societies and serve on the faculties of medical schools of such leading institutions as Dartmouth and the University of Connecticut.

Our acute care hospitals include a teaching hospital with a nationally recognized Residency Program in Obstetrics and Gynecology sponsored by the University of Connecticut.

Our nurses are outstanding as well. Many hold specialty certifications in Inpatient Obstetrics, Maternal Newborn Nursing, Fetal Monitoring, Childbirth Education, Telephone Triage and Breastfeeding.

Our services include breastfeeding programs, childbirth and parent education (virtual and elearning), prenatal testing, newborn screening, nitrous oxide for comfort in labor, help with postpartum depression, family planning, and more.
