With approximately 1700 deliveries each year, the Birthing Centre provides services before, during and after the birth of your baby.  Our role is to assist parents in learning as much as they can about what to expect prior to the birth of their baby, and preparing for care at home.

Our 22-bed obstetrical unit consists of:

• 3 triage rooms
• 6 labour rooms
• 13 post partum beds

We provide family-centered care in a comfortable "care by parent" setting.  Sleep chairs are available in most post partum rooms to accommodate one support person for an overnight stay.

Patients presenting for Labour and Delivery are assessed in the obstetrical triage.  The department is staffed by OB/GYN physicians, family physicians with OB privileges, midwives, and a collaborative interdisciplinary team.

The Children’s Treatment Centre is a family-centred community-based rehabilitation facility providing assessment, treatment, consultation and education to children and young adults with motor and communication impairments.

The Centre strives for the best quality of life and health for its clients by enhancing their self-esteem and facilitating their function, independence and community participation.

We are a ten (10) bed unit that offers care to:

• infants born prematurely at twenty-nine (29) weeks and up
• infants that are sick when born and up to one (1) year of age

We are a twelve (12) bed unit that offers care to children from birth to seventeen (17) years of age.
