- Certified breastfeeding (lactation) specialists
- Childbirth classes to prepare you for your baby's arrival
- Overnight accommodations in our mother-baby units for fathers/support persons
- Unlimited visitation for father or support person in addition to grandparent and sibling visitation
- On-call baby photography

- Umbilical Cord Blood Donation and Banking at Emory University Hospital Midtown
Along with our state-of-the-art facility and experience, comes the expertise associated with an academic medical center. This includes our association with the Emory University School of Medicine and neonatologists, perinatologists, obstetricians and anesthesiologists available 24 hours per day for the safety or you and your baby.
