Jefferson Health

Experienced, supportive and compassionate maternity care from pregnancy planning to postpartum.

Deciding to have a baby is a big step. And deciding where to go for your care and delivery is big, too. Whether you’re thinking about becoming pregnant or you’re already expecting, you deserve experienced, compassionate care and support. At Jefferson Health, our OB/GYN physicians and midwives ensure our patients receive exactly the care they want and need. For patients who develop complications during pregnancy, we also collaborate with our maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) colleagues who are experts in high-risk pregnancies. With our team-based approach, our patients have access to the highest quality care from pregnancy planning, through delivery and beyond.

Family-centered maternity care

We provide quality care for you and your infant in a family-centered environment that allows for your partner or support person to be included in your care plan. We encourage rooming-in to enhance bonding and breastfeeding — and provide sleep chairs to ensure your support person has a comfortable place to rest during your stay. Thomas Jefferson University Hospital is also proud to have received prestigious international recognition as a Baby-Friendly Designated birth facility by the Baby-Friendly® Hospital Initiative (BFHI), an international breastfeeding education and support program sponsored by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children’s Fund.
