Postpartum Support

We continue caring for you and your baby even after you leave our Birthing Center. Within 48 hours of discharge, moms and newborns are invited back for follow-up visits to check weight, repeat any necessary lab work and receive breastfeeding support.

Advanced Newborn Care When It Matters Most

Bringing a baby into the world is a joyful experience, and even when specialized care is needed, we are here to provide expert support. Our telehealth partnership with Children’s Mercy Kansas City and Overland Park Regional gives your baby access to neonatal intensive care specialists via real-time audio/video telemedicine.

This technology allows us to:

  • Perform thorough newborn assessments
  • Consult specialists for diagnoses
  • Review x-rays and lab results
  • Conduct remote daily rounds, when necessary
  • Provide education and ongoing communication with parents

Teleneonatology is available on a case-by-case basis, offering potentially life-saving interventions from birth through discharge for infants requiring a higher level of care.

We also offer maternal-fetal telemedicine services to manage health concerns before, during and after pregnancy. These services support both low-risk and high-risk pregnancies, helping us monitor and treat pre-existing conditions and pregnancy-related complications without the need for travel.

Expert Pediatric Care from the Start

Our pediatric team is here to provide attentive, family-centered care for your newborn. From routine wellness checkups to treatment for common illnesses, our pediatricians are here to support your baby’s growth from infancy through childhood.

We are also here to guide you through the early days of parenthood, answering your questions about feeding, sleep patterns, immunizations, medicine dosing and more. If your newborn ever needs extra care, our team is fully equipped to admit and treat common pediatric concerns.
