Welcoming Your Baby Into the World

The moment you meet your baby happens only once. Ensure it happens in a place dedicated to extraordinary care for babies and new mothers.

We welcome you to define your birthing experience. Do you want to listen to your favorite music while giving birth? Or ease your contractions in the shower? Our labor-delivery-recovery rooms provide a comfortable, private atmosphere for the birth of your baby.

If you opt for one of the many forms of natural childbirth, our staff is here to offer coaching and comfort. Should you decide that you want something more for pain, many of our locations offer obstetrical anesthesiologists 24 hours a day.

In addition to your doctor or midwife, our nursing staff works with you throughout the labor process. Our nurses are specially trained—many have more than 15 years of service in caring for new mothers and babies.

Genetics Research

Sutter Health Genetics Research
Genetics studies the genes and DNA coding that each person inherits from their parents and how these genes can lead to disease or better health. Some inherited genes cause diseases such as Tay-Sachs or sickle cell anemia, while mutations in genes can cause genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome. However, doctors also use genetics to understand which treatments may work best for an individual.
