Special Delivery

Anne Arundel Medical Center's Family-Centered Childbirth Program

AAMC brings the best and most comprehensive obstetrical and gynecological care to area women at the Rebecca M. Clatanoff Pavilion at the Medical Park campus. As the only hospital in Anne Arundel County that provides full maternity services, AAMC provides every expectant mother with personal perinatal care--before, during and after her baby is born.

Baby

A new beginning -- that's what AAMC's comprehensive maternity program is all about. Our Special Delivery program offers classes on nutrition, life after baby, infant care and breast-feeding. Classes are offered for all members of an expectant family at a variety of times and locations. Childbirth and parenting classes also are available for a small fee. Siblings and grandparents are invited on pre-birth tours of the Clatanoff Pavilion.

A Birthing Suite

In the Clatanoff Pavilion, patients enjoy the soft lighting and homelike amenities of the luxurious private birthing suites equipped with the latest technological devices. Fathers and family members are welcome. Physicians, certified nurse midwives and maternity nurses appreciate the central fetal monitoring system that helps ensure the safety of mom and baby during labor and delivery.

To help new moms have a successful breast-feeding experience, lactation consultants provide education and support. Specially trained nurses and physicians provide 24-hour attention for premature and critically ill babies in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit supervised by a noted neonatologist.
