The birth of a child is one of the most exciting, fulfilling events life has to offer. Every baby is unique, and every mother and family is special.
Wesley Healthcare supports you and your family during and after birth. We encourage you and your doctor to develop your own “birth plan,” which outlines your wishes for your labor and delivery. You can make your own choices regarding pain management, birthing method, family involvement and more.
Should you need handicap access or interpretive services, please let us know, and we will ensure your needs are met. It is the policy of Wesley Healthcare not to discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, our program and activities.
