With 1,800 deliveries a year, the HRSRH hosts a 25-bed obstetrical unit (3 bed ante-partum, 5 labour rooms, 17 beds post-partum) and provides family-centered care in a comfortable "care by parent" setting. Sleep chairs are available in most post-partum rooms to accommodate one support person for an overnight stay dependant on unit census.
Patients presenting for Labour and Delivery are assessed in the Obstetrical triage. We offer outpatient antenatal testing (NST) and a Prenatal Preadmission Clinic. Labour workshops are available for a nominal fee. Currently, the department is staffed by OB/GYN physicians, family practice physicians with OBs privileges, midwives, and a collaborative interdisciplinary team.
