The Corewell Health Big Rapids Hospital Family Birthing Center offers unique, family-centered maternity care. We are committed to providing professional excellence and the best possible experience as you prepare for the birth of your baby and when your baby arrives. We are known for our personal, friendly, individual and warm approach to your care. Rooms are private and cozy offering a homelike setting. Each is equipped for most high-risk deliveries and emergencies. Our family-centered approach to maternity care immediately admits you into a birthing room, rather than to a "labor" or "waiting" area. We will try to keep you here until you are ready to go home. This is to create a sense of rest and security for your family. (If a cesarean section is needed, it will be performed in a surgical suite.) The Corewell Health Big Rapids Hospital Family Birthing Center is equipped to stabilize and care for babies who need specialized care. Our advanced technology and specially trained staff are qualified to care for many infants with special needs.
