Our childbirth program
Our experienced obstetrician-gynecologists (OB/GYNs) collaborate with you and your family to achieve a safe and healthy birth experience.
Labor and delivery rooms
We want your labor and delivery experience to be as calm and comfortable as possible. To support this, our team offers a variety of holistic touches designed to create a relaxing environment. Depending on availability, you may request items such as a Himalayan salt lamp, flameless candles, birthing ball or peanut ball, sound machines, or an upright birth position seat.
Our labor and delivery unit also features:
- Private, spacious labor and delivery suites with an adjustable bed and guest sitting area
- Luxury recovery suites with a separate sitting room and adjustable bed for loved ones (available for a fee)
- 23 postpartum rooms with televisions and private restrooms

To celebrate each new arrival, a lullaby chimes throughout the hospital. After delivery, you’ll also enjoy a complimentary three-course celebratory meal for you and a guest.

We are committed to creating a supportive environment for you and your baby. Our services include:

This may include:

Before discharge, please plan to have a rear-facing infant car seat available for your baby’s trip home. Southern Hills Hospital staff are not certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians and cannot provide car seat installation, inspection or safety certification services.
