Caring for 11,500 women and children each year, this family-centered program provides a variety of services for mothers and their newborn children, including antenatal, delivery and neonatal care and outpatient pediatrics services. The program also offers gynecological and women’s health services.

Labour & Delivery
Assisting in over 5,000 births annually, the Woman and Child program includes high risk obstetrical services and a 50-bed integrated family care center which includes a 15-bed Labour, Delivery, Recovery and Post-Partum (LDRP) Unit.

The LDRP unit provides a warm, caring and supportive environment for women and their families. It allows low-risk mothers to labour, deliver and recover in one room and have their child by their side throughout their stay in the hospital.

The high risk obstetrical services provide the latest in antenatal care and technology to women with difficult pregnancies. Women who have complications during their pregnancy and need hospitalization will be cared for on our antepartum unit. During their stay, their health and baby's health will be monitored on a daily basis. This can include monitoring of baby and mother's vital signs, fetal assessment via ultrasound, and blood collections.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Over 600 newborn babies are cared for every year in the Neonatal Intensive Care unit, which combines the neonatal intensive care and intermediate care nurseries into one large space that can accommodate 30 babies. These babies range from infants born prematurely to full term infants with illnesses that require more specialized care. This unit, and the philosophy of care that guides it, allows more privacy for parents and is more efficient for staff working with the babies. Parents are involved in their newborn's care and are invited to be present as much as possible.

Women’s Health
We offer Women's Health services in hospital and clinic settings to over 12,000 women. These services include gynecological surgery and gynecological cancers. In our outpatient areas, we do well women care (ie annual check-ups and pap smears), as well as care for women with abnormal pap smears and urogyne problems.
