Expecting a newborn during the COVID-19 pandemic certainly adds stress to an already challenging time in a family’s life. To help ease the way of expecting parents, we’ve created a welcome video from the Providence St. Peter Family Birth Center.

In the video, you’ll find information about changes due to COVID-19, such as the pre-procedure testing information for pregnant women, what the delivery process will look like, visitation policies and more.

“We continue to be committed to the safe and compassionate care our community has come to expect from us,” said Sheila Seick, Labor and Delivery manager at St. Peter Hospital.

    COVID-19 patients, as well as those caring for them, are safely isolated from the rest of the population.

  • We are limiting people coming into our facilities to those deemed essential. This helps maintain appropriate physical distancing and reduces spread of germs.
  • VIRTUAL VISITS. For on-demand and routine medical care, we offer virtual visits – a reliable way to see your provider from the comfort your own home.

We’ve always been a leader in safety. These are just some of the additional protocols we’ve put in place to help ensure your safety when you’re with us for care.
