Meet Pasco Regional Medical Center's Obstetricians
At Pasco Regional Medical Center, everyone knows when baby arrives because a lullaby plays throughout the hospital so everyone can celebrate the birth of our babies.
Following the birth of your baby, you will be moved to a mother and baby suite. In your mother and baby suite, you will have a new nurse who will care for you and your baby. Our nurses are experts in helping new moms learn how to care for their little ones. Additionally, you have the choice of keeping your baby in your room or in the Baby Patch Nursery. If you need rest or wish to take a break, the nursery staff will be more than happy to care for your baby. However, to form a bond with your new baby, we encourage our moms and dads to keep baby with them in the comfort of their room.
