Sloane Hospital for Women - Obstetrics
Sloane Hospital for Women, widely recognized as one of the finest obstetrical and gynecological programs in the world, delivers over 4,000 babies every year. Part of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/ Columbia University Medical Center, Sloane Hospital for Women provides comprehensive care for both mother and baby, from routine screening tests to the most advanced diagnosis and management of high-risk births. If needed, pediatric subspecialists are readily available for consultation and treatment. The Hospital also manages pre-existing and newly detected medical complications in mothers, such as hypertension, congenital heart disease, and diabetes. The Hospital's team of nationally recognized physicians and nurses work together to provide patients with a coordinated program of care to meet their individual needs.
Nursing staff is constantly present on all of our obstetrics units, including the Carmen and John Thain Labor and Delivery Unit, the Antepartum and Postpartum Units, the Nursery, and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Each of the nurses caring for you and your baby has received extensive, specialized education in the birthing process, including high risk and routine pregnancies and deliveries, as well as postpartum and newborn care. If you are hospitalized prior to delivery, these nurses will monitor you and your unborn baby using advanced maternal and fetal monitoring technologies. The nurses strive to provide a sensitive, safe, and healing environment that promotes comfort, respect, and privacy for you and your baby.
Before you go home, the nurses will teach you how to care for your newborn, assist you in adjusting to parenthood, and provide information about your baby's physical needs and developmental changes.
