About this Unit: The Birthplace at M Health Fairview Lakes Medical Center offers a unique opportunity to care for families across the full continuum of maternal and newborn care in a collaborative, family-centered environment. Our newly renovated unit includes 6 Labor & Delivery rooms, 9 postpartum rooms, 2 OB triage rooms, Level 1 nursery, and an operating room within the department for cesarean births. Nurses on our unit are trained to provide care across the continuum of maternal-child health, including Labor & Delivery, postpartum and newborn care, pediatrics, OR circulating for cesarean sections, and PACU recovery following cesarean births. Care is provided by a multidisciplinary team of OB/GYN physicians, pediatric nurse practitioners, CRNAs, registered nurses, and nursing support staff, with all nurses trained in lactation support and several holding Certified Lactation Consultant credentials.
