Maternity Services

Expecting a child, especially if it’s the parents’ first, is an exceptionally exciting time that can also be a bit intimidating. 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 expectant parents with attentive service and helpful information. 

Tri Valley Health System also offers nitrous oxide as a safe alternative for pain management as well as epidurals.  

Expectant parents at Tri Valley Health System receive a free diaper bag upon their discharge from the hospital. Included in the diaper bag is helpful information as well as a Halo sleep sack."

Pleasant Accommodations

 

​Tri Valley Health System features two large, Labor/Delivery/Recovery suites with upgraded finishes, flat screen televisions, convertible sofas and free WiFi. The suites also feature jetted tubs for use during labor. Studies have shown hydrotherapy by the use of jetted tubs is a safe method of pain management that also features psychological benefits for the mother as it increases relaxation, lowers blood pressure and increases overall comfort.
