The Birth Place at Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital announced the grand opening of its new renovated units. The Birth Place encompasses both labor and delivery unit and postpartum units.

“Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital’s renovated inpatient birth units are a successful realization of our commitment to provide our youngest patients and their families with the most beautiful and up-to-date surroundings possible,” said Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital Chief Nursing Officer Robin Baldauf. “Our newborn babies and their families are receiving the highest quality medical care in a setting that clearly demonstrates our commitment to their health and wellbeing.”

The renovations include flooring, paint, lighting, ceiling tiles, case work in patient rooms and nursing station, new furniture, updated art and bathroom upgrades throughout the entire labor and delivery unit and our postpartum unit.

The Birth Place proudly offers:
  • Eight fully equipped, private labor and delivery rooms, two operating rooms and three triage beds
  • An in-house neonatology specialist 24/7, with a seven-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) that cares for infants 28 weeks and older
  • An experienced nursing staff in labor and delivery, newborn, neonatal intensive care and postpartum care
  • 14 mother-baby postpartum care rooms
  • Educational and support classes
  • Inpatient International Board-Certified lactation consultants
“At Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital, we define ourselves as the ‘Birth Place of Choice’ because while in our care, we want your birthing experience to match your preferences,” Baldauf continued. “Our experienced obstetric staff and neonatology staff provide a special brand of maternity care that blends evidence-based care with personalization and compassion.”
The renovation was approximately $1 million. The Birth Place had more than 1,620 births last year.

In January of 2023, Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital launched a comprehensive pelvic floor program that aligns the pelvic floor services and providers that serve at the hospital, including physical therapy, obstetrics, gynecology, colorectal surgery and urology. The program ranges from general therapeutic care to surgical interventions. 

In February of 2023, The Birth Place at Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital received a donation from Weighted Angels, a program that provides comfort to families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss in eastern Virginia. Weighted Angels is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was formed in 2018 by a group of bereaved mothers looking to provide comfort to families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss. The donation will enhance and grow Mary Immaculate Hospital’s perinatal bereavement program.
