Some people prefer to have their child at home. Others prefer to have their baby at a birthing center because of the added safety of having trained specialists near by and because of the added services only a medical center can provide.
If you decide to go with a birthing center, we hope you'll consider CVMC. Our Garden Path Birthing Center was built with you in mind. Private rooms, labor tubs, views of Spruce Mountain, and room service are just a few of the amenities. Our knowledgeable and helpful staff will give you the information you need to choose the birthing options that work best for you.
