At The Birthing Suites at Tempe St. Luke’s Hospital, we believe the birth of every baby is a special event. The experienced team of doctors and nurses are dedicated to providing excellent care for you and to help your baby get the best possible start.

Labor, Delivery, Recovery and Postpartum
For the birth of your baby, we’ve prepared a private, spacious, comfortably furnished labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum suite. With an adjustable birthing bed for mom and sleeper chair for your coach, our suites are designed for you and your family’s comfort throughout your stay. Each suite is fully equipped for you and your baby’s safety.

If you require a Caesarean section, you will be transported to our surgical suite, so you will be able to deliver your baby in an operating room nearby our maternity unit and return to one of our suites for recovery and postpartum care.

Rooming-in
We encourage mothers to keep their new babies in their rooms as much as possible. Rooming-in gives families time to bond and helps new parents learn how to care for their infant with the professional assistance of our dedicated nursing staff. We also offer in-room cable television programming to educate new parents about infant care.

Our Nursery
Our well-baby nursery is available for mothers who want to rest without their baby in the room or who are not able to care for their newborns.

Breastfeeding
We offer lactation assistance for mothers who choose to breastfeed. All our nurses are trained to assist you and will help you learn techniques for feeding your baby.

Visitors
We know you will want friends and loved ones to share in your joy when you welcome your new baby to the world. We maintain a family centered approach and offer flexible visiting hours and comfortable waiting areas for your guests.

Infant Security
Our comprehensive infant security plan is designed to protect our tiniest patients and to help ensure they stay safe in the hospital.

In addition to other security measures, we use a high-tech electronic surveillance system to keep track of each baby. After birth, we place a small monitoring device on your baby where it remains until you take the baby home.
