Private Duty Nursing Care
Well Mom/Baby Care
Our professional well mom/baby care program is available to
mothers prior to, and following delivery and their hospital stay. We are
especially versed in providing care coordination for pregnant women who are
carrying a baby with anomalies as well as for infants who have multiple
anomalies or high-risk conditions. Our program includes prompt telephone
reports to the patients’ physicians regarding complications. In addition,
our nurses teach new moms how to take care of themselves and their babies,
as well as help with breastfeeding support.
