The Birthing Center at Avera Sacred Heart Hospital provides a warm, comfortable environment for expectant mothers and their family. The Birthing Center includes a committed staff of physicians and nurses providing specialized obstetrical and nursery care in a restful atmosphere. 

The Avera Sacred Heart Birthing Center has four fully-equipped labor, delivery and recovery rooms (LDR’s) creating a pleasant setting for family and baby during this eventful time. You will experience your labor, delivery and recovery in your LDR and then relocate to a family-friendly room for your post-partum stay. Every room has comfy furniture, television, and a private bathroom along with a place for your support person to sleep so you can spend time together as a family.  

In addition, our nursing staff and certified lactation consultant are available to assist new mothers in initiating and sustaining their breastfeeding decision. 

When mom and baby leave, they leave with a child safety seat for baby and special instructions on vehicle safety for baby and the entire family.
