Our Family-Centered Approach

In 2015, Valley Presbyterian Hospital received the prestigious designation as a "Baby Friendly Hospital" through Baby-Friendly USA (BFUSA), a global program sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF. With more than 3,000 babies born each year, Maternity Services at Valley Presbyterian Hospital is one of the busiest maternity units in the San Fernando Valley region. We offer a family-centered approach and are dedicated to providing comfort and support through the journey of pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. By choosing our Maternity Services, you'll have access to:

• Our highly trained, compassionate staff to assist you with your needs and answer all your questions.
• A 24-hour, on-call obstetrician who is at the hospital to handle deliveries and emergencies, if the need arises.
• An intimate family birthing suite where you and your baby stay together for precious bonding time.
• A sleeper chair in the room so your spouse or partner can stay with you.
• A nursing staff that is specially trained in breastfeeding support and lactation consultants who are available even after your hospital stay.
• Free Maternal Child Health Education classes on topics such as prenatal care, childbirth preparation, breastfeeding preparation and support, and infant care.
