High-quality birth care

Trust ProHealth for safe, high-quality birth care. ProHealth Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital and ProHealth Waukesha Memorial Hospital are Blue Distinction Centers for Maternity Care. That means we’ve demonstrated:

• Excellent patient satisfaction
• Few early elective deliveries (scheduling an induction or cesarean section before 39 weeks’ gestation when it’s not medically necessary)
• Lower rates of episiotomies (surgical incisions to make delivery easier)
• Lower rates of cesarean births for singleton pregnancies where the baby is positioned head-down

Count on your ProHealth birth care team to help you access your choice of comfort measures and pain management options, such as:

• Aromatherapy – Essential oils used to reduce anxiety and the perception of pain.
• Epidural block – Anesthesia injected into your spine to numb the lower half of your body.
• Guided imagery – Relaxation technique that helps reduce stress, anxiety and tension.

Cesarean births

If you need to deliver your baby surgically, you’ll appreciate dedicated suites for C-section births on the same floor as the labor and delivery rooms.

Recovery period

After birth, let your baby stay by your side so the two of you can bond.

Daily quiet time

During daily quiet time, you and your baby and partner rest uninterrupted as the main hall lights dim. Your visitors can enjoy a spacious family lounge with a children’s play area until quiet time ends.
