Directions for Getting to the Maternity Centers
Here are some important things you should know as you prepare to deliver your baby:
-
Your care team in the maternity center will be wearing personal protective equipment to help protect themselves and you.
-
We encourage moms and their support person to bring a handmade mask with them to wear during labor and delivery.
-
We are currently working on a process to provide laboring moms with a handmade mask that has been donated. We hope to be able to offer this soon.
These efforts are meant to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Thank you!
