Northern Light Birthing

The Northern Light Birthing Department at Northern Light Mayo Hospital is designed with comfort and privacy in mind. Our rooms feature home furnishings and warm decor blended with the latest medical technology to create an environment that is high-tech yet soothing and relaxing.

We encourage family participation at Mayo. We provide a home-like atmosphere to encourage bonding with your newborn. Siblings of the baby, grandparents, and dads can visit at any time. We offer a pull-out sleep chair for Dad or a designated family member and give you the option of rooming in with your baby. We also prepare Mom and a guest a special meal to help celebrate the newest member of your family!

The Birthing Department consists of two labor & delivery/ recovery (LDR) rooms, one triage room, a Labor tub, three postpartum/gynecological patient rooms, and a newborn nursery. Anesthesia coverage is available 24 hours per day. All newborns have the opportunity for a newborn hearing screening and expanded newborn blood spot screening.
