Welcome to Brookdale's new Obstetrical Program at The Brookdale University Hospital and
Medical Center, your baby's arrival is treated as cause for celebration. Brookdale's team of medical,
nursing and support staff is trained to provide care in an atmosphere of respect and friendliness.
Brookdale's obstetricians and midwives deliver thousands of babies yearly and this experience is
at work for you, from the informative way your questions are answered during pregnancy, to the
support nurses offer during labor and delivery, to the welcome you and your baby receive on the
maternity suite. Brookdale believes in an approach to childbirth that includes your family as part
of the celebration. Fathers are invited to participate in the actual delivery and various courtesies,
such as extended visiting hours, are granted to fathers, grandparents and siblings throughout your
Brookdale experience. All this takes place in our beautifully renovated maternity suite.
In Labor and Delivery, and later on the maternity floor, you'll find yourself surrounded by warm pastel colors, soft lighting and floral fabrics. If you have any questions or want to see for yourself why having a Brookdale baby will be a memorable experience, give us a call at (718) 240-5583 to arrange a tour of the maternity facilities.
