Special Deliveries Daily
When you come to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital for your maternity needs, you’ll find compassionate, friendly care in a calm, healing environment. You’ll also find progressive technology and services to help make sure your delivery and the arrival of your baby is a safe and secure experience.
At St.Elizabeth, life is our priority. Just as your baby is unique, your birth experience is too.
We offer a variety of birthing options. You get to choose what you prefer, in consultation with your physician and within your health requirements: doctor, midwife, doula, traditional birth, innovative water birth. St. Elizabeth was the first hospital in California to offer water birthing services from labor to delivery.
During labor, walking can be helpful for moms waiting to give birth. Our facility offers a variety of beautiful, calming gardens and pathways, including a spiritual garden, complete with park benches and water features. Our expert nursing team uses a Doppler fetal monitoring system to ensure your baby’s well-being during labor, so expectant mothers can walk with confidence and security.
Comfortable, private maternity suites equipped with the latest medical equipment permit labor, delivery, and recovery to take place within the same room, with your own doctor or midwife in attendance, and family members or friends standing close by for support and encouragement.
See the Babies in our Virtual Nursery Friends and family near and far can meet your new little one through the St. Elizabeth Virtual Nursery. A personalized Web page includes the baby's name, birth information, and photo. From the page, visitors may e-mail family and friends, sign the baby book, or read notes added by others.
While no one wants to anticipate trouble in the delivery room, St. Elizabeth is linked to a state-of-the-art sister facility, Mercy Medical Center Redding, just 35 miles north of Red Bluff. In the event of a high-risk birth, infants and parents can be immediately airlifted so that the best possible treatment can be obtained quickly and safely, creating a reliable continuum of care that is the hallmark of St. Elizabeth service.
