We know that each woman’s childbirth experience is unique. With this in mind, we offer several birthing options to meet diverse needs and expectations.

Our 15 Labor, Delivery and Recovery (LDR) suites are equipped to provide comprehensive care in a single, private room. These spacious rooms foster a homey atmosphere while ensuring that all necessary medical support is available.

Our team is committed to working together for your comfort and safety. Your provider, our anesthesia staff and our nursing team collaborate to offer various pain management options, including epidural anesthesia.

After delivery and recovery, we encourage “rooming in”, which allows mothers and their newborns to bond. This is facilitated through our Family Centered Care Unit (FCCU), where a dedicated nurse provides care to both mother and child.

Recognizing the importance of breastfeeding, we have certified lactation consultants on staff. Along with our knowledgeable nursing team, they’re here to support and assist breastfeeding mothers.

Triple P Parenting Program

Services offered

  • Classes, Parenting & Early Childhood

    • Parenting & Family Support

The North Carolina Triple P State Learning Collaborative is taking the guesswork out of parenting, by offering parents and caregivers Triple P – Positive Parenting Program for no or low cost.

Positive parenting is simply an approach to parenting that gives parents and carers tools and strategies to raise their child in an environment that is safe, loving and predictable. Triple P’s positive parenting program allows each person doing the program to decide what is important to them. So, it’s not telling you how to raise children, but giving you the confidence and skills to build good relationships, set boundaries and rules calmly and in ways that kids understand, and follow up with consequences that are not harmful.

Triple P gives families positive strategies that are proven to work. The program can be adapted to suit any situation. Hundreds of research studies show its effectiveness. And it’s totally up to you how to use it.

  • It’s a toolbox, not a rulebook. You get the strategies and knowledge. You choose what tools to use, when, and how.
  • What you do today helps create a better future for your child.
  • Parents from more than 25 countries have discovered how small changes make a big difference!
