Breadth of specialty services: We offer a wide range of care and support for all pregnancies and deliveries — from thorough prenatal care to specialized services for high-risk pregnancies — from Washington University Physicians who are nationally recognized leaders in their specialty. We also provide mental and emotional support services, including individual or couples therapy, screening and care for postpartum depression, and psychiatry services.
Accredited Baby-Friendly® hospital: Our staff has received extensive training in the most current mother-baby care, bonding and infant feeding recommendations and practices to help you feel connected with your baby and confident in your ability to care for your new addition after discharge. For women who choose to breastfeed, we have certified lactation specialists on site seven days a week for individual counseling and education.
