Special Services

Lactation Services

The nursing staff of the Women & Children’s Unit are nurses with special training and experience in counseling and assisting women with breastfeeding. They are available to offer help and expertise to mothers who have made the choice to breastfeed or have already begun breastfeeding.

Hospital Support

After the baby arrives, rooming in allows you the optimal opportunity to get to know your baby, respond to feeding cues and perfect your breastfeeding skills. Our nurses receive many hours of specialized education in the area of post-delivery care and breastfeeding to assist you. They will answer your questions, provide education on maternal and infant care when you are discharged from the hospital, make referrals with other agencies to provide care and assistance and include the father and grandparents in the process.

Outpatient Visits

Mothers who have delivered at Angel Medical Center may request outpatient appointments for additional lactation support. These visits are complimentary. Patients are encouraged to call the Women & Children’s unit at any time of the day or night with questions concerning mother or baby. Questions will be answered by registered nurses trained in telephone triage. The nurse will be able to contact physicians when needed for additional follow up. The unit phone number is 369-4421.

Gift Shop

Specialty gift items for the newborn and family are available in the volunteer’s gift shop located in the main lobby.

Diabetes education, smoking cessation, health fairs and a variety of information is available through the community education department. The phone number to call is 369-4166.
