ur obstetrical unit practices family-centered care--an exciting new concept for obstetrical patients. Our family-centered maternity care offers prenatal classes, special visiting privileges for fathers and "rooming-in" of the infant in the mother’s room, if requested. Our educational program focuses on newborn care instruction classes and lactation consultant services.

The obstetrical unit is furnished with state-of-the-art equipment. High tech monitors, sonographic equipment, and modern birthing beds are combined with creature comforts. Individual labor rooms with showers and televisions have recently been built.

These amenities complement our superb nursing, physician and midwifery staffs, all dedicated to providing the highest quality medical care in a comfortable and supportive environment.

Every birth is a special event for our staff as much as for family and baby, and we are dedicated to making your birth experience a memorable one.

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has a full program to provide total health care for women. Our department offers tours of the maternity floors and Labor, Delivery, and Recovery Rooms (LDR's) for expectant parents and prepared childbirth classes during the pregnancy.

Our Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine has the most up-to-date equipment for the evaluation of mother and fetus. This is especially important in the management of high risk pregnancies, which comprise 25% of our deliveries. This Division is staffed by a full time Board Certified Perinatologist and highly trained nurses. Under the direction of the Perinatologist, the Division provides genetic counseling, amniocentesis, diabetic counseling, as well as maternal-fetal evaluation during the course of pregnancy.

Our Gynecologic Services use the latest techniques and equipment, such as ultrasonography, color Doppler, laser and laparoscopic surgery, in the diagnoses and treatment of female disorders. Other problems managed by our Gynecologic Service include sexually transmitted diseases, abnormal Pap smears, benign tumors and female urinary disorders including urinary incontinence.

Jamaica Hospital Medical Center now offers brand new Labor, Delivery, and Recovery Suites to provide a warm and comfortable environment to deliver your baby.
