Obstetrics

Having some reassurance can make a great deal of difference for Mom and Dad as they embark on an unforgettable and life changing journey. For the providers at Tri Valley Health System, creating that reassurance means having the best equipment and technology, highly qualified staff, offering accompanying services, and providing expecting parents with attentive service and helpful information.

Included in the diaper bag is helpful information as well as a copy of the popular book “What to Expect When You’re Expecting”. They also receive a free consultation with Registered Dietician, Tonya Koeppen to discuss the do’s and don’ts of eating while pregnant and will be paid a home visit by OB Coordinator, Jamie Shifflet following delivery.
