Perinatal Services

The Perinatal Unit of the Hôpital régional de Sudbury Regional Hospital (HRSRH) promotes a family-centered philosophy of care. Our role is to assist parents in learning as much as they can about what to expect prior to the birth of their baby, and preparing for care at home.

Click here for more information on our Prenatal Pre-Admission Clinic, Labour Workshop and Prenatal Tour. We encourage you to attend these informative and useful sessions.

To ensure your place in the clinic, workshop/tour, please call for an appointment at least 12 weeks before your due date at 671-7397 (voice mail only).
Visiting Restrictions

These restrictions are in place to enable our patients to have time to recover, learn how to care for themselves and their newborn; and to reduce the risk of infection.

Keeping Your Newborn Safe

Tips for Parents

Since your baby will be in your room, we would like to share a few important tips with you to help assure your baby’s safety.

  • Never leave your baby unattended.
  • Please keep your baby in his or her crib if you take the baby out of your room. Never carry your baby in your arms in the halls.
  • The best way to protect your baby from germs is to ensure that anyone handling your baby “washes their hands” properly.
  • DO NOT give your baby to anyone except your nurse, whose hospital identification must always be visible. If anyone tells you they need to take your baby for a test or x-ray for example, call your nurse right away to make sure it is okay.
  • Question any unfamiliar persons entering your room, or inquiring about your baby, and alert your nurse so she can identify them to you.
  • Please leave baby’s identification bracelets on until you get home after discharge from the hospital. If your baby needs to leave your room, nursing personnel who bring your baby back to you will match your bracelet number with your baby’s.
  • Your baby’s safety is as important to US as it is to YOU.
