Dear Expecting Parents,

We are so honored and thrilled that you have chosen Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital to be part of your birth experience!

Spanning the fifth floor of the Children’s Hospital, the San Manuel Maternity Pavilion is dedicated to providing you with comfortable, calming and comprehensive maternity care. You and your unborn child are not just a number, but are now a part of our family.

Our obstetrical service is recognized as being one of the finest in the state of California and is a Regional Referral Center for obstetrical and neonatal care. We are on the state honor roll for our low cesarean section rate in first-time mothers. We are one of the few hospitals in the region that offer a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) with high success rates. We routinely offer delayed cord clamping and immediate skin-to-skin and we have a variety of options for women who desire low intervention or unmedicated childbirth. We encourage you to have open communication with your physicians and nurses regarding your desired birthing experience. Most importantly, we want to partner with you to have an incredible and safe journey through childbirth.

Here at LLU Children’s Hospital, we are able to provide top notch care for all patients. We have a specialized physician and nursing care team able to provide inpatient obstetrical service for any maternal or fetal issues occuring during your pregnancy or delivery. This means that no matter your condition, LLU Children’s Hospital is the right place for you!

We are proud to be an academic institution that trains medical students and resident physicians to become exemplary attending physicians, and we believe they are an important part of improving the care you receive. We are training the next generation of physicians to provide whole-person, high-quality obstetrical care for both low- and high-risk patients.

At LLU Children’s Hospital, approximately 3,000 babies are born each year. Equipped with the highest level neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) available, we have a level of expertise that comes with experience – one that you can count on in an obstetrical or neonatal emergency.

Finally, we are proud to be the first children’s hospital in the nation to earn a Baby-Friendly Hospital designation. We fully support breastfeeding and hope to provide you with the tools and resources you need to achieve your breastfeeding goals.

We look forward to seeing you and your family in the near future and have the pleasure of assisting you with the delivery of your baby. Thank you for including us as part of this incredible occasion. Congratulations!

Sincerely,

Your Maternity Services Family
