The New Beginnings Maternity Center at Redwood Memorial Hospital offers quality patient care and family-centered maternity services for Moms-to-be and their families.

Caring for a tiny human being for nine months is exciting, exhausting and exhilarating. The experience will change your life - and the lives of everyone around you - in wonderful, unforgettable ways. And we look forward to sharing this very special time with you.

At Redwood Memorial Hospital, we know that pregnancy can bring loved ones together in beautiful new ways. That’s why we offer family-centered maternity services. You can share the birth of your baby with a labor partner, and with other special people in your life, if your Physician or Midwife approves. Your entire family can participate in the educational process if you wish. We also make a special effort to prepare you for all aspects of having a baby. We believe it’s important for you to know the experience will affect you physically, socially, and emotionally.

We offer many classes for Moms and their families, like classes for first-time parents, review courses for experienced parents, educational classes, and more. For a full description of the current classes offered, see the Classes and Events  page or call us at (707) 725-3361 or at Redwood Women's Health Center (707) 725-6108. Classes are also available in Spanish.

Choice is nothing new at Redwood Memorial Hospital. You can labor, deliver, and recover in one of our cozy, homelike rooms, with friends and family by your side. With the help of your Physician or Midwife you can decide how you want to deliver your baby, the environment in which you want to give birth, how much you want your family and friends to participate in the experience, and how you want to care for your baby after delivery.

Our new Labor Spa room features a large whirlpool tub, perfect for relaxing during labor.

You can take special comfort in knowing that Redwood Memorial Hospital offers special care for premature or sick infants. Provided by a team of highly trained nurses, technicians and therapists, and a neonatologist who is available for phone consultation 24 hours a day. Chances are you won’t need these services. But as many women have told us, it’s just reassuring to know they’re available if the need arises.

Whatever options you choose from the many available alternatives, you can count on the caring support of the nurses and staff in the New Beginnings Maternity Center. They think of themselves as facilitators who are privileged participants in your family’s birth experience. And they believe strongly in personalized care. They will encourage you, support you, and help you. It makes all the difference in the world.

Both the maternity and pediatrics departments have specialized security equipment and procedures.

Our Emergency Room is a designated Emergency Department, Approved for Pediatrics (EDAP). This designation means that the Redwood Memorial Hospital ER has specialized policies, equipment, and standards for providing and monitoring emergency pediatric care.
