Going to the Hospital

Recognize the signs of labor, so you know when to come to the hospital to deliver your baby.

Labor & Delivery Comfort

Your modern CentraCare – Long Prairie birthing suite is a comfortable environment to labor and give birth. Suite features and amenities include:

  • Large, private birthing suites allow you and your newborn to stay in the same room for labor, delivery and postpartum experience.
  • Private bathroom with whirlpool tub
  • Birthing beds convert to a seated position to give you more support and comfort during breastfeeding.
  • Specially designed sink for baby’s first bath
  • Convertible sleeper sofas for your support person
  • Complimentary dinner for new parents

Baby-Friendly Practices

After your delivery, we'll support you with baby-friendly practices. You'll enjoy skin-to-skin contact with your baby, get breastfeeding help from a CentraCare lactation consultant and have your baby stay in your room. These practices help you bond and quickly respond to your newborn’s needs.

NICU Telehealth Services

Most babies go home within a day or two after you give birth. But some infants need a bit more care. Should that happen, your baby’s care team has a partnership with St. Cloud Hospital for neonatology services, which they can access through telehealth services 24-hours-a-day, allowing your baby to stay closer to home and family.
