Our Maternity Department offers a unique and comfortable environment for families welcoming their newest members. We provide families with individualized attention and support to facilitate a healthy and safe delivery.
Our private suites provide a space for you to bond with your newborn and are designed to allow for support from your family, where rooming-in is encouraged.
The St. John’s Riverside Hospital Maternity team consists of board-certified doctors and highly skilled and compassionate registered nurses.
Whether a mother chooses to breastfeed or bottle feed her baby, our maternity staff provides support and guidance. Board-certified lactation consultants and specially trained nurses are available to answer questions, listen to concerns, and provide instruction.
Your newborn will be cared for by a designated nursery team of registered nurses and pediatricians/neonatologists. Our nursery is staffed 24/7 by RNs who will coordinate the specialized care and attention your newborn requires. If your baby is born premature or has special needs, you can rest assured that our Level II NICU is equipped to provide comprehensive medical services.
Security and safety are top priorities at St. John’s Riverside Hospital. The maternal /newborn safety program includes security protocols such as newborn security bracelets and unique identifiers pairing birthing parents with newborns.

Keith Lescale, Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist, is onsite at St. John’s Riverside and is available at your obstetrician’s request to help manage and monitor complex pregnancies.

Our NICU is staffed by board-certified neonatologists, who are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and a team of highly skilled neonatal nurses.
