Juneau Family Birth Center

Birth Center Care

A safe, private and peaceful facility designed specifically for your birth.

The Birth Center Advantage

  • Mobility and comfort
  • Calm environment 
  • Hydrotherapy and waterbirth
  • Food and drink

 

Our birth center is designed to optimize the natural birth experience while providing the features and equipment necessary to ensure your safety. Our birth center features three birthing suites, each with a homelike charm, deep tub, and room to move. Throughout labor, we combine traditional skills and modern techniques to safeguard normal childbirth, and leverage medical interventions only when appropriate to ensure the well-being of you and your baby.

Hospital Transfers

Our midwives closely monitor the well-being of you and your baby to ensure safe delivery in the birth center and a successful transition after birth. Our emergency transfer rate is less than 1%, but if a situation that indicates a need for a higher level of care arises, transportation to Bartlett Regional Hospital, located only one block away, will be arranged. Your midwife will facilitate a smooth transition by coordinating with hospital staff, and your care will be transferred to the on-call physician. Your midwife will accompany you to the hospital and remain with you until you get settled and a management plan is established.
