UM St. Joseph dedicates renovated and
expanded space on our Mother Baby Unit
After waiting nine long months, it is time for expectant moms to
bring their little one (or little ones!) into the world. Their first stop
is The Faith Marguerite Kelly Welcome Center, named in memory
of the granddaughter of The Honorable Francis X. Kelly, Jr. and
Mrs. Janet Kelly. Improvements include a registrar and greeter
who meet every family, helping calm nerves and getting expectant
moms exactly where they need to be.
Five postpartum rooms have been renovated to include private
bathrooms, flat screen TVs, night lights, an oversized rocking
reclining chair, artwork to disguise medical equipment and a
sleep sofa.
The renovated and expanded Triage Unit has a new exam room,
enhanced nursing stations and five new patient bays with
sliding doors that allow for complete privacy and help prevent
the spread of germs.
The Jim and Bette O’Conor
Nursery was enhanced and
expanded in 2016. Here, babies
are bathed and observed.
Another new addition is
the Edward V. Julio
Family Bereavement Room,
designed to offer families a
private and warm setting
when the pregnancy
outcome is not as expected.
