Family Birth Center

Family Birth Center suites are designed for your comfort and care during labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum stay. Each suite features a multi-position birthing bed, private bathroom with a shower, and state-of-the-art fetal monitoring system among other equipment necessary to provide quality care for you and your baby.

Thinking of starting or adding to your family tree? We invite you to take a free Birthing Center tour, where you will view our spacious, private birthing suites, learn what to bring to the hospital and participate in a group question and answer session with a birthing center registered nurse.

The feelings and emotions you experience over the coming months and years will be unique to you. That’s part of what makes them so special. But there are certain things you can expect, anticipate, prepare for and enjoy at various stages along the way. To help you make the most of this very important time, we have prepared this resource. This guide will help you prepare for your child’s birth and your stay at Dignity Health’s Chandler Regional Medical Center.

Our certification allows us to care for babies 28 weeks gestation and older. The Birthing Center has highly skilled nurses with experience caring for newborns requiring extra monitoring. A neonatal nurse practitioner, with training to handle any emergency that may arise during labor or delivery, is on site at all times.

Your health is just as important the months following the birth of your baby as it is while you are pregnant. A comfortable antepartum and healthy and successful postpartum recovery is important for you, your new baby and your family.

The goal is for you or other designated family members to stay at the bedside the entire time to take care of your baby because we believe your baby will do best with you. Members of our team will also be there to assist you.

Chandler Regional's neonatal intensive care unit provides special monitoring for babies who are very sick or were born prematurely. Our twelve private NICU rooms provide overnight accommodations for one caregiver and feature a private restroom/shower.

One of the most important choices a new parent makes is how to feed their newborn. At Dignity Health, our physicians, nurses and breastfeeding support specialists are here to help you make the best choice for you and your family. 

Chandler Regional, in conjunction with the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), performs standard genetic testing in newborns to identify 29 disorders. In doing so, ADHS is able to detect rare, inherited disorders in Arizona newborns and provide follow-up services to save lives and improve quality of life.

Coronavirus Update: Our maternity support groups are now being held online during their regularly scheduled times and days. Some OB classes are also available online.

Chandler Regional’s Family Birth Center offers a variety of classes and support groups help educate and prepare expectant families. Visit our classes and events section for a complete listing and registration. 

Make your admission to the hospital much easier by pre-registering. This gives us time to gather important information about you before you arrive at the hospital. You can pre-register online, by mail, phone or at the hospital.

Chandler Regional’s skin-to-skin bonding program, Kangaroo Care, encourages mom and dad to bond with their newborn immediately after birth. The program establishes a warm, welcoming environment that fosters early closeness and connection for the new family.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby! Delivering babies is our Specialty. At and at Chandler Regional's Family Birth Center our practices are designed to help you achieve the best birth for the healthiest baby, and have the most satisfying experience. Your baby's need during the first few weeks are pretty basic: love, nutrition and rest.

Dignity Health has partnered with Baby Bella Photography to capture your newborn's first moments.

We are proud to partner with the Arizona Public Cord Blood Program to provide our expectant parents with the option of donating their baby’s umbilical cord blood to the national registry where it could save the life of someone with a life-threatening disease, or in need of a stem cell transplant.
